Tech executives have reportedly been invited to the White House to discuss Huawei.
Getty ImagesTech executives will apparently gather at the White House on Monday to discuss the US ban on Huawei. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow will meet leaders from software and chip companies, according to Reuters, which cited anonymous sources.
Google and Micron will attend, and Intel, Qualcomm and Broadcom have been invited, the report noted. Microsoft was likely invited too.
In May, President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning Huawei from doing business with US companies, but eased restrictions on the embattled Chinese phonemaker in late June during trade talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The US government will reportedly start approving licenses for Huawei again in the coming weeks.
Neither the White House, Huawei, Intel, Google, Broadcom, Qualcomm, Microsoft nor Micron immediately responded to requests for comment.
