Restricting Huawei from doing business in US will raise legal issues: Statement

Huawei on Thursday said "unreasonable restrictions" by the United States infringe on its rights after President Donald Trump barred US companies from using foreign telecoms equipment - a move that appeared aimed at the Chinese firm.

"Restricting Huawei from doing business in the US will not make the US more secure or stronger; instead, this will only serve to limit the US to inferior yet more expensive alternatives," the telecom giant said in a statement. "In addition, unreasonable restrictions will infringe upon Huawei's rights and raise other serious legal issues," the statement said.
