Micron is again authorized to supply memory chips to Huawei. The United States Department of Commerce has just granted a sales license to the American firm. Under these conditions, other companies based in the USA, including Google or Qualcomm, could benefit from a waiver in the coming weeks.

Micron has just obtained authorization to sell DRAM and NAND chips to Huawei, report our colleagues from Reuters. Since last May, the American firm based in Idaho was not allowed to sell its components to the Chinese group, which is still on the blacklist. However, the United States recently authorized the Chinese firm to be able to buy “non-sensitive goods” from companies based on American soil. The Trump administration has been issuing approvals for the past few weeks. Micron is the first company to take advantage of this.
