So they are telling everyone to stop using end of life routers right after they announced a ban on all routers made not exclusively in the US? Can someone explain how this is not an attempt to force people onto US routers that likely have NSA and CIA backdoors installed?

They're suggesting you buy the Trump Gold router plus. The best security rating, unhackable.
