The US government has said that US companies wishing to deal with Huawei could be granted licenses to do so in the near future.
Currently, American companies are prohibited from selling their products to Chinese companies after it was blacklisted for national security reasons earlier this year. This prevented Huawei from finding key technologies and software, such as Google applications.
The sellers have been pressuring the US government to reconsider its approach. Many of them should lose significant revenue if they couldn't provide Huawei. Washington surrendered and said that some vendors could do business with Huawei as long as there is no security risk.

However, despite promises to cancel the process, none of the 200 applications submitted to the United States government were approved.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross expects a "Phase 1" trade deal with China to be reached soon, and the ministry is beginning to approve or reject applications.
"It's a lot of applications, it's frankly more than we would have thought," Rossberg quoted Bloomberg as saying. "Remember also that in the lists of entities there is a presumption of rejection. So, the safest thing for these companies would be to assume, although obviously we will approve several."
Huawei has often denied any allegations of wrongdoing, but the sanctions could affect its long-term prospects. However, he fought back by saying at a Paris event that he would maintain strong growth in his business, regardless of whether he is capable of using American technologies.
The United States has never presented evidence in support of its claims, but urges its allies to follow suit and prevent Huawei from participating in the 5G rollout. These warnings have had limited impact in Europe, where Huawei is an important partner for many large carriers. This includes the UK, where reports suggest that the government will not prevent society from playing a role.
Germany also refused to impose specific requirements on the company, but decided that all suppliers would be subject to more stringent security criteria. However, Foreign Minister Heiko Mass questioned the fact that these criteria will allow Huawei to participate in its deployment, saying that Huawei relies on Chinese national security laws that require it to transmit information to Beijing. . Huawei has repeatedly refuted any suggestion of such practices.
