Back from the past few months, the ban on Huawei has been a controversial topic and trumps turn back has made it more controversial. This ban forced Huawei to stop it's all trade with the U.S companies. Due to this ban, MNC's like google, apple, Qualcomm, Facebook and many more were forced to stop trade with Huawei. Huawei was most affected by the pause of google services served in their phones, as per the U.S ban Huawei were not allowed to use google's android operating system anymore on their upcoming phones. So google went on to revoke Huawei's android license but after the trumps turn back some leniency was shown towards this action trump allowed Huawei to receive google services for a period of 90 days and this step was towards the products of Huawei which were already in the market.
Speaking at the g20 summit Trump said"US companies can sell their equipment to the Huawei. We are talking about equipment where there's no great national security problem with it"

Less than 24 hours after this statement google agreed to continue licensing android to Huawei
Alaa Elshimy, Managing Director & vice president of Huawei enterprises business group, was quoted as saying, "Huawei knew this [the Android ban] was coming and was preparing. The OS was ready in January 2018 and this was our 'Plan B'. We did not want to bring the OS to the market as we had a strong relationship with Google and others, and did not want to ruin the relationship."
For now, Huawei is back in-game for competing against other mobile brands in the market but what can be said for the future.
