Huawei Technologies is reassessing its target to become the world’s top-selling smartphone vendor by 2020, after a US trade ban raised serious questions about its access to services that are crucial for international sales, according to a senior executive.

Huawei is now closely observing and evaluating the situation after the US government barred American companies from supplying the Shenzhen-based telecommunications equipment giant, according to Zhao Ming, president of Honor, one of Huawei’s smartphone brands, at a media briefing in Shanghai on Friday night.
