US President Donald Trump’s senior advisers have invited US technology companies to the White House on Monday to discuss a resumption of sales to blacklisted Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, according to people familiar with the matter.

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow and treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin arranged the meeting with semiconductor and software companies because they wanted to talk about how to move forward. A person familiar with the meeting said the White House asked the companies “to discuss economic matters”.
