Trump allows US companies to sell products to Huawei

-

US President Donald Trump has allowed US companies to sell their products to Huawei. Trump states that US is allowing after considering that it's not an issue of national security.

  • Trump administration is considering lifting the trade ban on Huawei.
  • All US companies will be allowed to sell products to Huawei after the trade agreement happens.
  • Huawei will be able to use Google's Android OS and ARM-designed chipsets.
After the US issued a ban on Huawei, many US companies were unable to do any business with Huawei, which at the moment is the second largest smartphone manufacturer in the world. This also posed risks of incurring losses for these US companies. Therefore, the US government has been pressed to reconsider the trade ban with Huawei. And as expected, the Trump administration seems to have figured out a solution to the problem.

Trump said at a press conference that he’s only allowing equipment trade in areas where there’s no security risk to the country:

U.S. companies can sell their equipment to Huawei. We’re talking about equipment where there’s no great national security problem with it. I said that’s O.K., that we will keep selling that product, these are American companies that make these products. That’s very complex, by the way. I’ve agreed to allow them to continue to sell that product so that American companies will continue.
For reference, as Android Authority noted, Huawei spent about $11 billion on US-based suppliers in 2018; that included chipsets from the likes of Qualcomm, as well as software from Microsoft.



The trade agreement hasn't been undertaken yet but it will happen soon. Therefore, the situation stands as - the US is ready to consider lifting the trade ban with Huawei and the trade talks will happen soon. As of now, the ban still stands on Huawei.

With the ban lifted, it remains to be seen whether Huawei will stick to Android and use existing US technologies, or develop its own processor architectures as well as stress on its own HongMeng OS.

It's not clear at the moment if Google, Qualcomm, Intel, and other Companies will resume trading with the Chinese Tech Giant. We've Contacted them to learn more,and we'll update the story accordingly.

Space Waste & Debris: The Biggest Problem We Can’t See

On October 4th, 1957 the then Soviet Union (USSR) successfully launched its Sputnik 1 satellite into the Earth’s orbit. While the spherical Soviet satellite wasn’t threatening to look at (weighing a mere 184 pounds and measuring a slim 23 inches wide), its small beeping signal heard back on Earth resonated throughout the United States and was viewed as a massive threat. As it turns out, that tiny beep ignited the already simmering space race and effectively forced both countries to push their limits of innovation and technical ability to the breaking point in an effort to reach a nonexistent finish line. October 4th, 1957 was also the day that many stargazers tracked a faintly shining object as it sped around the Earth at 17,500 miles per hour. Many thought that they were looking at  Sputnik 1 but in reality, they were seeing the detached rocket body that propelled it into orbit. While Sputnik 1 was roughly the size of a large beach ball, its rocket body was nearly 85 feet long a

VERA – A VEHICLE LIKE NO OTHER SEEN FROM VOLVO BEFORE Vera is an autonomous, electric vehicle that can operate with significantly less exhaust emissions and low noise levels. It is controlled and monitored via a control centre, and has the potential to make transportation safer, cleaner and more efficient. Revealed in September last year, the autonomous Vera is powered by the same drivetrain and battery packs found in Volvo's electric trucks. It is, however, more electric sled than electric big rig, consisting of four-wheels and a low-profile body that can be latched onto by standard load carriers and trailers. Several VERA vehicles are intended to operate on a Pre-defined route (with a maximum speed of 40 km/h), partly on public roads, Transporting Goods from the DFDS Logistics Centre to an APM Terminals port facility in Gothenburg, for distribution across the world.As Volvo Trucks gain more experience, Vera will have the potential to be used in similar applications as

For a while now, Google Assistant has had the ability to read out your text messages aloud. But, this feature was only helpful for users who had all their important messages in the SMS inbox.
