Although the media noise has dropped, the complications between Huawei and Donald Trump's government continue. Without going any further, last week we told you about Facebook's position in this whole story (and we made it clear that it was not in principle so serious as it sounded) and now we must do the same regarding a decision that, for the first time in this entire history, could be on the side of the Chinese firm: a delay 3 years on his veto.
A margin of 3 years for a safe transition
Not so bad news is running at this time, possibly through the halls of Huawei: the US government is studying whether to add to the current veto imposed 2 more years with respect to the time that had been established for its full compliance.
Writing to Vice President Mike Pence and several members of Congress, Russell T. Vought, current Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget, explains that this delay would benefit US companies, being an ideal margin for them to comply with the ban on doing business with Huawei, originally imposed to take effect within a year and a month.
In the letter, Vought notes that:
The Administration believes, based on feedback from affected parties [US companies in relation to Huawei], that this additional preparatory work will ensure better effective implementation of the ban without compromising desired security objectives.
If the director's advice is taken into account and this delay is put into practice, the prohibition would take effect in three years and one month, thus giving a much more comfortable margin for all parties -and more room for action to the suffocated Huawei, which already made it clear that he does not intend to sit idly by.

No wonder such a request has gone this far. As collected in The Washington PostSome tech companies have already applied for a license allowing them to continue selling to Huawei, arguing that the US Commerce Department ban could severely hurt their financial results and their own ability to innovate within the sector.
As we already raised last week when we asked ourselves who was hurt more of the end of agreement FacebookIf Huawei or Mark Zuckerberg's own company, in the end this absurd war started by Donald Trump not only hurts the Chinese company -that is indisputable at this point-; it also severely hurts many American companies that have been working with the world's largest manufacturer of telecommunications equipment for years.
And this is nothing more than a domino effect. In Spain, Vodafone today announced the commercial display of 5G technology for June 15, communicating that it will be available only in the terminals Samsung Galaxy S10, LG V50 y Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G. Huawei equipment is left out for the moment, although the operator has secured that they will be included when the corresponding certification of the supported terminals arrives. The networks that will be used, yes, continue to be, how could it be otherwise, from the Asian manufacturer (and Ericsson), thus demonstrating once again the enormous network of the Chinese company and the negative repercussions that not having it would have .
