“The CEOs expressed strong support of the president’s policies, including national security restrictions on United States telecom equipment purchases and sales to Huawei,” the White House said. “They requested timely licensing decisions from the Department of Commerce, and the president agreed.”

In addition, Huawei is in the list of companies that are prohibited from doing business with American businesses without the appropriate licenses.
