The U.S. government has withdrawn select export licenses from Intel and Qualcomm, effectively preventing them from supplying processors to Huawei — the latest volley in an ongoing chip war between the U.S. and China.
Intel and Qualcomm can no longer sell processors for laptops and smartphones to Huawei, according to a report from the Financial Times. The new ruling hits their businesses and leaves the Chinese tech giant — which has been on the U.S. trade restrictions list since 2019 — without some of the crucial elements needed for its products.
