WASHINGTON: The Trump administration said Friday it will restrict the ability of Chinese telecoms giant Huawei, which it considers a national security risk, to develop semiconductors abroad with US technology.
“This announcement cuts off Huawei’s efforts to undermine US export controls,” the Commerce Department said in a statement.
The department said it will “narrowly and strategically target Huawei’s acquisition of semiconductors that are the direct product of certain US software and technology.”
