Senators warn Trump to not use Huawei as chip in trade talks 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseTwo leading US senators warned President Donald Trump’s administration Thursday to not use Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei’s access to the US market as a negotiating tool in trade talks with Beijing. The US intelligence community has sought to persuade key allies to eschew Huawei technology but has not made public any evidence of how Huawei equipment could be compromised by Chinese intelligence. On May 23, Trump suggested that Huawei’s status could be part of his negotiations with China on resolving a grinding trade battle. Nevertheless, he said, “it’s possible that Huawei would be included in a trade deal” if an agreement is reached to end the escalating trade conflict.
