It is reported that Huawei is preparing to lay off hundreds of workers in the United States.

The company has suffered in recent months after the administration of US President Donald Trump imposed a virtual ban on sales in the United States for what it said were potential security threats in the midst of the ongoing US-China trade war.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Huawei plans to lay off employees at its research firm Futurewei Technologies and runs a number of research laboratories in the United States.

The magazine said Huawei would allow some Chinese employees the option of moving to China to stay within the company.

It seems that some employees have already been notified that they will be abandoned, with plans to lay off other staff in the near future.

In May, the White House issued an executive order allowing the US Commerce Secretary to give the United States authority to prevent US companies from selling to entities considered a threat to national security.

As a result, Huawei is no longer able to buy some of the parts and software it needs for its products. While the company may get some exemptions from the US embargo on sales last month, Trump said things will probably not change until countries Their differences.
