The Trump administration has issued a licence that will allow US companies to keep doing business with Huawei for the next three months in a bid to contain the fallout from the export restrictions on the Chinese telecoms equipment maker.
The licence would enable operations to continue for existing Huawei mobile phone users and rural broadband networks in the US, the commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross, said in a statement on Monday, FT reports.
According to Reuters, the U.S. Commerce Department will allow Huawei Technologies Co Ltd to purchase American-made goods in order to maintain existing networks and provide software updates to existing Huawei handsets. The world’s largest telecommunications equipment maker is still prohibited from buying American parts and components to manufacture new products without license approvals that likely will be denied.
The U.S. government said it imposed the restrictions because of Huawei’s involvement in activities contrary to national security or foreign policy interests.
