After blacklisting, US receives 130-plus license requests to sell to Huawei

The standstill coincides with mixed messages from Trump in the U.S.-China trade war, which have dimmed hopes for prompt decisions on license applications to sell to Huawei, the world's top producer of telecoms equipment. That has raised the specter of billions of dollars of lost sales for chipmakers, software companies and others in Huawei's U.S. supply chain.

WASHINGTON: The U.S. Commerce Department has received more than 130 applications from companies for licenses to sell U.S. goods to China's Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, three sources said, nearly two months after President Donald Trump said some sales would be allowed.

But the Trump administration has not yet granted any licenses for sales to the blacklisted company, said the people familiar with the process who spoke to Reuters on the condition of anonymity.
