US pushes for new crackdown on Huawei, raising concerns of retaliation against American companies
The US Commerce Department said Friday it is moving to restrict Huawei’s ability to manufacture and obtain semiconductor chips using American-made software and technology, which could cut the company off from a key component from its suppliers. The move reflects the Trump administration's latest effort to crack down on the Chinese technology giant, which has come under strict scrutiny from US national security officials. It also risks further heightening tensions between the United States and China at an already tense moment, with the potential for retaliation against American businesses.
