LONDON (Reuters) – U.S. sanctions targeting Huawei Technologies have had no immediate impact on the Chinese firm’s ability to supply 5G equipment to the UK, Huawei Vice President Victor Zhang said on Wednesday.
“These restrictions actually haven’t had an impact on Huawei’s capability to supply to the UK’s 5G and fibre solution at this moment,” Zhang told reporters on a call.
“We need to talk about the long term impact, it takes time, it takes months.”
