U.S. telecoms supply chain rules, seen hitting Huawei, under review -official

WASHINGTON: Rules to implement a White House executive order that is expected to pave the way for China’s Huawei to be banned from the U.S. telecoms supply chain are “under consideration and review,” a Commerce Department official said on Tuesday.

The rules, which were due earlier this month, would implement an earlier declaration of a national emergency in the telecoms supply chain, and are likely to be used by Washington to tighten the squeeze on the telecoms equipment giant.
