US Gives Huawei Another 90 Day Reprieve on Ban

The US will extend for another 90 days a narrow set of exemptions that had protected rural networks and other US customers from a ban on doing business with China's Huawei Technologies, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said Monday.

Some telecom companies in the US are "dependent" on Huawei, and thus a 90-day reprieve was deemed appropriate, Ross said in an interview with Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo.

"We're giving them a little more time to wean themselves off," he added. Ross said the next deadline will be around November 19. He added that Commerce decided to place 46 more Huawei subsidiaries on its entity list.
