OREANDA-NEWS. Huawei Telecommunications Corporation is preparing to file a lawsuit against the US authorities, which prohibited national wireless operators in rural areas from purchasing its equipment. About this with reference to its sources said on Thursday the American newspaper.

The lawsuit is expected to be filed with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, Louisiana next week. According to the publication, Huawei will notify the start of the trial in early December at a press conference at its headquarters in Shenzhen.

On November 22, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided to prohibit US wireless operators operating in rural areas from using funds from the federal fund program, which amounts to $ 8.5 billion, for the purchase of equipment from Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE, whose activities, according to Washington poses a threat to the country's national security. The FCC obliged operators who already have such equipment to replace it. In August 2018, Trump signed a decree banning government departments from using equipment manufactured by Huawei and ZTE.
