No Made-in-America products for Huawei?

US has cautioned the Indian government that companies found supplying equipment/other products made by the US to Huawei or its units may face punitive action. The letter was sent to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and is being viewed as a part of US efforts to increase pressure on India to act against Huawei. MEA has asked the Department of Telecom (DoT), Niti Aayog, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Department of Commerce and the principal scientific adviser for views on the implications of US’ curbs on Huawei for Indian companies. A senior government official elaborated to ET, “Three questions have been posed by the MEA — to examine information provided by the US, including possibility of action against Indian firms that supply US-origin software and equipment to Huawei and also to provide views on the recommendations of a recent 5G security conference at Prague and overall opinion on the matter.”
