 The U.S. could ease harsh measures taken against Huawei Technologies Co. as part of a wider trade deal with China, President Donald Trump suggested Thursday, Reuters reported. Last week, the Trump administration effectively banned U.S. companies from dealing with the Chinese tech giant over concerns that its telecom equipment poses a national security threat, though some companies were to get a 90-day window before the ban begins. Speaking about a possible trade deal Thursday at the White House, Trump said: "If we made a deal, I could imagine Huawei being possibly included in some form or some part of it," according to Reuters, though he said the company was "very dangerous" from a security standpoint. There had been speculation that the action against Huawei was, at least in part, a bargaining chip to be used in future negotiations. There are no new trade talks scheduled, but Chinese officials have said they're open to resuming negotiations, and Trump on Thursday again predicted a quick end to the yearlong trade war.
