WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump agreed at a meeting with the heads of top technology companies like Google on Monday to make"timely" decisions on requests by U.S. companies to sell to blacklisted Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, the White House said.
The meeting comes at a time of lingering uncertainty over the future of U.S. companies' ties to Huawei, the world's largest telecommunications equipment maker. It was placed on a U.S. blacklist in May, with the government citing national security concerns. On Monday, executives expressed displeasure at Commerce Department Secretary Wilbur Ross, who also attended the meeting, for not providing clear guidelines on policy toward sales to the Chinese company, according to a person briefed on the meeting. White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin were also at the meeting, the person said.
However, the Washington Post reported on Monday that Huawei secretly helped North Korea build and maintain its commercial wireless network.
