WASHINGTON, March 4 — US chipmaker Nvidia Corp’s plans to sell technology to China’s Huawei would be thwarted if the US government proceeds with a proposal to further restrict shipments to the blacklisted company, a draft report by a government contractor shows.
A senior State Department Official said the document was a preliminary draft prepared by a contractor, and the department “would not have approved of the report in its current form.” It also said the government “has written and contracted multiple reports on this subject, based on different contingencies, which arrive at very different conclusions.”
Reuters could not learn the details of the specific policy change whose impact was being assessed in the report.
