Asia (bbabo.net), - The administration of US President Joe Biden has suspended the issuance of export licenses to US companies for the Chinese corporation Huawei. This was reported on Monday evening by the British newspaper Financial Times, citing sources.

According to them, such a move brings the US authorities closer to the introduction of a complete ban on the sale of American technology to Huawei. The publication noted that the Biden administration took such a measure against the backdrop of attempts to intensify joint efforts with allies to slow down China's technological development, including in the field of artificial intelligence and hypersonic weapons, TASS quotes.

For the past few years, Huawei has been under heavy pressure from the United States, which has imposed sanctions on the Chinese company. The US Department of Commerce blacklisted Huawei effective May 17, 2019 due to a national security threat, severely limiting the company's ability to purchase high-tech equipment from the United States. The agency subsequently issued and then renewed several times a general license that renewed the right to maintain networks and provide software updates for the company's mobile devices.
