U.S. gives Huawei another 90 days to serve existing customers
- 5 years ago
The U.S. Commerce Department has decided to add more than 45 new businesses associated with Huawei to an export blacklist.
However, it's also renewing a temporary general license that allows firms in the U.S. to sell products to Huawei.
For more on this and other news around world, let's turn to our Kim Da-mi.
Da-mi, tell us more about these decisions that appear to send mixed messages.
Mark, the U.S. will once again delay a full ban on doing business with Huawei,...so the tech giant can serve its existing customers.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross announced the another 90-day extension on the Fox Business Network on Monday.
So that means, the "temporary general license," which was due to expire on Monday, will now end around November 19th.
The extension will allow the Chinese tech giant to maintain existing telecommunication networks and provide software updates to Huawei handsets.
BUT at the same time, Ross also said the U.S. is adding 46 Huawei affiliates to the ban list.
That brings the total number to more than 100 covered by the restrictions and it's making it hard for Huawei to continue doing business in the U.S.
Huawei called the move "politically motivated" and "unjust treatment" saying it had "nothing to do with national security."
The U.S. blacklisted Huawei back in May, alleging the Chinese company is involved in activities threatening national security or foreign policy interests.
