UNITED STATES (Reuters) - President Donald Trump of the United States agreed with the request of seven top technology companies of the country to lift the ban on their business with Huawai, China s telecom giant.
At a meeting with the U.S. president on Monday, CEOs of the seven U.S. technology companies, Micron, Western Digital, Qualcomm, Google, Cisco, Intel and Broadcom, said they wanted to resume doing business with Chinese telecom giant Huawei. And Trump agreed with their request for quicker licensing decisions from the Commerce Department on Huawei, the White House said on Monday.
