WASHINGTON: The tough sanctions imposed on Huawei by US President Donald Trump could deal a blow to the many US firms that make up the Chinese tech giant’s supply chain.
American firms last year sold an estimated US$11bil (RM46.03bil) worth of components to Huawei, which was put on a blacklist last week by Washington over national security concerns as trade frictions grow between the US and China.
