Sanctions against Huawei will be softened or lifted if Donald trump do not elect a new presidential term. This publication reports the Guardian with reference to the report of the Observer.
According to the publication, the British officials talked to representatives of the Huawei after the UK imposed a ban on the formation of a national 5G-infrastructure. According to the authorities, the decision was made partly for geopolitical reasons and due to the pressure from the United States. According to The Observer, the British side has hinted that the removal of restrictions from Huawei will be possible if Donald trump will not win the presidential election. Another condition for the lifting of sanctions called mitigating the anti-Chinese rhetoric in the White house.
Sources also said that the Chinese side of the talks expressed the hope that the Kingdom will reconsider its decision. Official representatives of the British government and Huawei representatives declined to comment on possible talks.
Earlier, the Minister of digital technologies, culture, media and sport Oliver Dowden said that the UK can no longer guarantee the security of Huawei’s participation in the development of 5G infrastructure in the country. In this regard, the national Telecom operator in 2021 will lose the opportunity to buy equipment from Chinese corporations.
The decision to expel from Britain responsible for the deployment of 5G the Huawei unit was made in mid-July. Members of the national security Council at the meeting, which was attended by the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, came to the conclusion that further cooperation with the Chinese Corporation would jeopardize national security.
