So does this mean that the security aspect of blocking Huawei was just FUD?

Or does this mean that the US is willing to ignore security issues for a “deal”?

Looks like it only applies to products which do not affect national security.

>At the request of our High Tech companies, and President Xi, I agreed to allow Chinese company Huawei to buy product from them which will not impact our National Security.

In other words policy that has applied to all companies all the time.

The US has always required approval for stuff that would affect national security (as an example, the recent WSJ article about AMD).
