It may seem that Huawei already had the worst possible relationship with the US government, but the reality is that it did not. The Chinese company still had some current and operational licenses to trade with certain companies for the supply of components or services. One of these companies is not Google, but Intel, for example. Now Donald Trump completely destroys the little relationship that remained between Huawei and the US government. It is a blow to the company, although there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
Goodbye to any trade agreement between the US and Huawei
When the veto was imposed, many US companies requested a truce to be able to work with Huawei for a time and that this decision did not affect them too much. One of these companies was Intel, for example.
Now Trump has declined this standing license and is expected to decline many more. For the average user, the most important relationship between Huawei and US companies is that of Google, but not only the search giant is important. Intel and many other companies provide components and services essential to Huawei’s successful business development.
The most notorious veto is that of Google, but Huawei has been collaborating with Intel and other US companies for some time. If you haven’t done it with Google as well, it’s because the United States government hasn’t granted you the license to do so.
In all this there is good news: Huawei could return
Trump has not made this license cut without reason: he will be president of the United States until this Wednesday, so he will be without power in a few days. Biden will be in charge of taking the reins of the country and making decisions starting this week. This means that Huawei could get off the country’s blacklists in a short time.
This is not the priority of the Biden administration, so this decision could still take a few weeks to become effective. The rumors speak very positively, so we could be a few weeks or days away from Huawei having access to Google services on its devices again.
