It is specified that this proposal will be executed only if the United States eases export restrictions for Huawei or postpones the entry into force of a decree on raising tariffs for goods worth $ 250 billion.
Earlier, the American leader Donald Trump announced the upcoming increase in duties on goods from China, which will be imported from September and October 2019.
