The White House changed its mind after a "talk" with Congress: Huawei will be banned within 2 years

Recently, White House officials wrote to Congress, hoping that the US government would delay the implementation of the Huawei ban until four years later, arguing that the ban would lead to a "significant decline" in the number of suppliers to the US government.
　　
According to Reuters, the White House Office of Management and Budget told the US Congress that it would agree to implement the ban on contracts signed with companies that do business with Huawei within two years.
　　
"Congress has made it clear in recent days that it is important to implement the law within two years, and we will do so," said Russ Vought, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in a letter to Senator James Inhofe, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
　　
Last week, Vought had requested that restrictions on contractors and beneficiaries of federal loans and grants take effect four years after the law is passed, rather than within the current two years, to give affected companies time to make adjustments and provide feedback. At the same time, the government will also have more time to deal with the potential impacts and possible solutions related to the ban on Huawei.
　　
But after "recent conversations with Congress," the White House changed direction. Vought said in the letter, "We will move forward without delay to meet the statutory deadline, and we will work with Congress to resolve any unexpected issues that arise."
　　
The ban is one of the important measures taken by the United States to contain Huawei. The US National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2019, totaling $716 billion, passed last year, widely prohibits US government agencies and contractors from purchasing and using Huawei equipment on the grounds of national security.
