nokia still makes phones?

Fair enough. It has NO authority in the US though.

Don't some companies follow something required by a rule from somewhere as big as the EU for all there phones rather than make more different models?

If the EU established a rule, it would have no more impact on the US than if the FCC established a rule in the US would affect phones sold in the EU. Different political organizations with their own rules and jurisdictions. Never forget there are some phones sold in the EU that are not sold in the US and vice versa.

From the Wiki.

"HMD Global or Nokia Mobile with branded as Nokia, is a Finnish mobile phone manufacturer owned by Terry Gou. The company is made up of the mobile phone business that Nokia sold to Microsoft in 2014, then bought back in 2016. HMD began marketing Nokia-branded smartphones and feature phones on 1 December 2016."


"...the mobile phone business that Nokia sold to Microsoft in 2014, then bought back in 2016..."
Does this mean Nokia itself bought back the Nokia cell phone business in 2016?
