Verizon Communications Inc has dropped all plans to sell phones by Chinese manufacturer Huawei Technologies Co, including the new Mate 10 Pro, under pressure from the US government, according to people familiar with the matter. 

The move follows AT&T Inc’s decision earlier this month not to introduce the Mate 10 Pro to the US market. Huawei devices still work on both companies’ networks, but direct sales would’ve allowed them to reach more consumers than they can through third parties.
