WASHINGTON -- The American tech industry is pressing U.S. President Donald Trump to follow through on his promise to ease trade sanctions on Huawei Technologies, but reports of the Chinese telecommunications giant's involvement in North Korea have emboldened hard-liners to block any thaw.
Chief executives from seven technology companies, including Google, Intel and Qualcomm, met with Trump Monday in Washington to discuss trade policy toward Huawei. The tech executives expressed "strong support" for Trump's restrictions against the company while the president agreed to "timely licensing decisions from the Department of Commerce," according to the statement from the White House.
