WASHINGTON: US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on Monday the US government will extend a reprieve given to Huawei Technologies that permits the Chinese firm to buy supplies from US companies so that it can service existing customers, even as nearly 50 of its units were being added to a US economic blacklist.
The"temporary general license," due to expire on Monday, will be extended for Huawei for 90 days, he told Fox Business Network on Monday, confirming an expected decision first reported on Friday by Reuters. He also said he was adding 46 Huawei affiliates to the Entity List, raising the total number to more than 100 Huawei entities that are covered by the restrictions.Ross said the extension was to aid US customers, many of which operate networks in rural America.
Asked what will happen in November to US companies, Ross said:"Everybody has had plenty of notice of it, there have been plenty of discussions with the president."
