Days after blacklisting Chinese technology company Huawei from buying American-made products, the Trump administration is now easing up.

"The Temporary General License grants operators time to make other arrangements and the Department space to determine the appropriate long term measures for Americans and foreign telecommunications providers that currently rely on Huawei equipment for critical services," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross.
