senator chris van hollen spoke to bloomberg to explain why lawmakers moved to pass what could be a deathentence for the company. >> they pose a national security threat to the united states through their telecommunications and network. that, they violated u.s. sanctions multiple times, flagrantly. so there is no reason to let them off the hook. emily: but president trump is not backing down, here is wilbur ross, speaking on bloomberg television. saying there might be a compromise, but the government will take action if violations continue. >> we have taken over $2 billion in fines. ever, we havetime the ability to implants into a company that has violated sanctions our code of conduct, our code of export control. and we have unfettered access to the company in order to monitor it. ,f there are further violations we will shut them down as we did before. we have the power to do that. emily: bloomberg tax correspondent joined us to explain. >> we are seeing them get punished severely. the longer they are in this limbo, the more damaging it is for companies. they have already lost billions,

senator chris van hollen spoke with bloomberg television earlier to explain why lawmakers moved to pass what could be a death sentence for this company. sen. van hollen: zte poses a national security threat to the united states through their telecommunications network. on top of that, zte, of course violated u.s. sanctions multiple flagrantly, tried to cover it up, so there is no reason to let them off the hook. emily: joining us from new york, we have "bloomberg technology" selina wang, who has been following the saga. does this mean these penalties will, indeed, be reversed on zte? selina: the senate passed a bill that would reinstate the ban. this complicates the earlier agreement trump had made to ease sanctions as long as it paid a hefty fine and rearranged some of its management structure. this does not necessarily mean the ban is going to be reversed. this has to be passed through the house. any compromise has to be agreed upon by the house and senate, and then, at the end of that, trump still has to sign it into law. many asian analysts think this is just prolong the process for

i'm going to turn it over to senator chris van hollen, and he'll pass it on to the members of the housek you, senator merkley, for bringing this together. we just came from a processing center. we were able to talk to a mom. her daughter had been separated from her in that processing center. sheer charged with illegal entry. under the new policy, they will deliberately separate moms and dads from their sons and daughters. this is a choi that the trump administration that is made. it is inhumane, it is cruel and we are calling on president trump, who has total control over this decision today on father's day, to end the policy and allow these families to eunite. i'm pleased to it ove to shielda -- sorry, either one of you. >> thank you all for bei here. it's a pleasure to have you. it's important bring issues, also to the rest of the country, so we're happy to have member of congress sees the injurisdictions that are happening, and i thi we're seeing a symptom of issue that is we have ignored in central america for years and latin america. hopefully we can continue working on this. the s

joining me now is democratic senator chris van hollen of maryland.ave you, senator. >> great to be with you. >>> you've been very outspoken about your opposition to the deal that the commerce department struck. it finds zte a billion dollars. it makes them put $400 million in escrow, should they violate sanctions again. your republican counterpart senator tom cotton of arkansas said, quote, the only fitting punishment would be to put zte out of business in the united states. is he right? >> he is right and that's why i teamed up with him to offer the amendment which is now included in what we call the manager's package and i'm confident that that's going to pass the united states senate in the coming week. the commerce department had the right penalty back in april when they announced that because zte had not only violated the u.s. sanctions policy against north korea and iran once, but they did it repeatedly and then when they were caught, they said they were going to come clean and instead, they engaged in a big cover-up and did it again. that's wh
