Not quite. You forgot this little quote from your article:
Google disclosed last week that it had stopped work on a censored Chinese search engine, codenamed Project Dragonfly, a product designed to block results related to topics banned by the Chinese government. Most Google employees only discovered the company’s work on the government contract after The Intercept published a report revealing the work, and hundreds of Googlers later signed a petition advocating for Google to drop the project.
That little tidbit was the entire issue. Looks like Peter Thiel's alarm forced Google to take quick action to stop their treasonous work with the Chinese. So when Trump looked into it, they'd already dropped it like the hot potato that it was. If it were me, I'd still have the FBI or maybe another more trustworthy organization look into Google, but not sure why Trump is willing to trust Google. I wouldn't.
