Summary

Amazon is still coming to New York, though this time it’s hitting Hudson Yards instead of Long Island City. The move reignited a debate about subsidies and what big tech does to the community and businesses. Senator Gianaris of New York, once dubbed “the Amazon killer” for his role in the original canceled HQ2 plans, joined Squawk Box to debate with Andrew Ross Sorkin. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine tells the anchors about the organization’s plan to launch and keep people on the moon. Plus, China is ordering companies to remove foreign devices from its offices in the next few years, but isn’t banning Apple. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is speaking out in support about big tech doing business with the Pentagon.
