Ever since the U.S. government placed HUAWEI on the entity list, the company has been bleeding revenue and seeing a drastic fall in sales due to lack of Google services on its phones. The U.S. government is now looking to choke the global supply of chips to HUAWEI.

As per a Reutersreport, senior officials in the Trump administration have agreed to newmeasures that aim to restrict the global supply of chips to the Chinesecompany.

“The rule-changeis aimed at curbing sales of chips to HUAWEI by Taiwan SemiconductorManufacturing Co, a major producer of chips for Huawei’s HiSilicon unit,” thereport says.

Under the proposed rules, foreign companies that utilize chipmaking equipment from American companies will first have to obtain a government license before they can sell chips to HUAWEI.
