Huawei Planning Major Job cuts in USA over sanctions
After US sanctions over Chinese telecoms Huawei about its close relationship with the Chinese government, the company is planning to major job cuts in its US operations.
The layoffs are expected at Huawei's US-based research and development arm, Futurewei Technologies, unnamed sources told to Pixr8 News.
The unit currently employs 850 people at several labs in the United States, but hundreds of them could be laid off, the report said. Some of the company's Chinese employees were given the option of keeping their jobs and returning home to work.
The administration of US President Donald Trump has put Huawei on its so-called entity list, which meant US companies needed a license to supply US technology to the Chinese firm.
