Some of these regines (referring to Sudan, Syria, Iran) used those technologies (provided by Ericsson) to monitor and control their own people
Trump clearly exposes that these technologies can be used to control people. Whats to stop all the other countries doing the same? There seems to be truth to the theory of Ericsson being behind all digital surveillance.
From what I remembner from digs long time ago, what differentiates Ericsson and almost all other telcos is that they control the hardware of a HUGE majority of all modes of communications (not just telephones) and hence are the chokepoint for any kind of control.
Plus, the family came to power using this technique (providing "secure" mode of communication amd using it to spy on powerful people)
There was something with Obama selling something with Ericsson. I need to go back and dig again. Also recall something about Ericsson supporting and selling to ISIS against American troops.

Now do at&t... Our "gov" entities are their biggest customers
