Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says licenses for US companies to sell to Huawei coming ‘very shortly’

Key Points

  • Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said Sunday that licenses for United States companies to sell components to Chinese telecom giant Huawei are coming “very shortly.”
  • In May, the Trump administration placed Huawei and dozens of other Chinese firms on the Commerce Department’s entity list, citing national security concerns.
  • Last month, Trump gave the green light to begin approving licenses for a select few American companies to bypass the ban, but none have been granted yet.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said Sunday that licenses for United States companies to sell components to Chinese telecom giant Huawei are coming “very shortly,” and expressed hope that the U.S. would reach a trade deal with China this month.

“We’re in good shape, we’re making good progress, and there’s no natural reason why it couldn’t be,” Ross said during an interview on Bloomberg Television in Bangkok. “But whether it will slip a little bit, who knows. It’s always possible.”

Following the cancellation of this month’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Chile due to protests in the country, Ross said that the deal between President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping could be reached in one of several locations, including Iowa, Alaska, Hawaii or somewhere in China.

Last month, the U.S. and China reached a truce and started working to finalize the first phase of a trade agreement, which includes a pause in tariff escalation and China buying U.S. agriculture products.

Ross, however, was non-committal on whether the Trump administration would suspend a December tariff hike. While Trump has said the phase one trade deal represents 60% of a long-term agreement, reports have shown that China is doubtful about reaching a long-term comprehensive trade deal.
