Osaka: In a big respite to Huawei, US President Donald Trump on Saturday said that US firms could start selling technology to the Chinese telecommunications equipment giant as long as the sales did not involve equipment that threatens US national security.
"However, Trump said the decision on whether to take Huawei off the Commerce Department's entities list would be left to a later date, adding he will have a meeting on Tuesday on the same subject.
"We are leaving Huawei towards the end. We are seeing what goes with the trade agreement, suggesting that fully lifting of the ban on Huawei would rest on a deal to end the trade war," media reported.
Speaking at a press conference in Osaka following the Group of 20 summit, Trump reportedly said that China and the US can be 'strategic partners'.
