US firms are banned from supplying Huawei without a licence.
Donald Trump’s campaign against Huawei has seemingly continued into his administration’s final days. Reports suggest licences that allow US companies to work with the Chinese vendor have been revoked, while pending applications have been denied. Reuters says it has seen an email from the Semiconductor Industry Association in which members have been asked if they have received notices on decisions. The agency’s sources suggest that as many as eight licences had been withdrawn while it is understood that there are 150 applications in progress.
