The U. S. Department of Commerce has issued a temporary reprieve for businesses that trade with Huawei. The move also means that Huawei Android customers will get updates until August.
The U. S. Department of Commerce has issued a Temporary General License (TGL) which allows for “limited engagement in transactions” with Huawei and its affiliates. In effect, this means that companies, such as Google, can continue to do business with the Chinese firm. The TGL is only temporary and expires 90 days after it was issued (May 20,2019) which takes us up to Sunday, August 18,2019.
The Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, commented on the decision, saying:
The temporary lifting of the ban will have benefits for three groups: Huawei, customers, and suppliers.
