I read that as

I was right flummoxed for a moment there.

but I AM the work IT people and I DON’T understand it EITHER!!!

I think they mean that the US would put trade pressure on countries doing any tech trade with China, not specifically preventing it punishing American companies from using Chinese chips.

Unfortunately the United States is still a big economy regardless of their politics and Manny is right that the US would throw their weight behind anti China policies to the detriment of other nations.

How successful such a move would be is up to debate.
