Good news! Huawei was removed from the US blacklist. President Donald Trump finally agreed to the Chinese government's request to allow trade agreements between the Chinese phone manufacturer and US companies.
Since May 2019, the US government has placed the tech giant Huawei on its trade blacklist. This has resulted in companies like Google banning the use of some updates from the Chinese company.
Huawei at the G20

On Saturday, June 29, 2019, the G20 summit was held in Osaka, Japan. As expected, the topic of Chinese companies was a major focus, as the blockade implemented since May affected both trade relations between the Asian country and the United States and the international economy.
Donald Trump said in a press conference that he is lifting the ban on Huawei for now. He explained that the decision was made after considering American companies and their products.
On the other hand, according to the Wall Street Journal, Chinese President Xi Jinping made it clear that a ban on Huawei would be an integral component of any trade deal with the United States. The well-known newspaper notes that this statement would have softened Trump's position.
With this good news, the Google blockade that prevented Huawei from using Android is lifted. This also resolves the situation with Windows, but raises a major question mark over HongMeng OS, the Chinese company's proprietary operating system. Since everything has been restored, there's no need to launch its own platform.
