US Defense concerned new Huawei curbs could harm US firms
- Monday | 27th January, 2020
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The US Commerce Department has withdrawn a rule aimed at further reducing sales to China’s Huawei Technologies amid concerns from the Defense Department the move would harm US businesses, people familiar with the matter said. A Commerce Department representative said “if and when” the agency has something to announce, “we will do so.” Huawei declined to comment. Commerce in May placed Huawei on a trade blacklist, citing national security concerns. We are concerned that the Defense Department is not appropriately weighing the risks,” the lawmakers wrote in the letter. They additionally asked how the Defense Department’s position affected its efforts to stop allies from using Huawei in their networks and asked for a briefing on the matter within 60 days.
