Huawei decided to abandon the idea of entering the US market, according to a new report
Over the years, Huawei has been trying hard to enter the smartphone market in the United States, and in just a few months it seemed that the company might eventually do so with the support of local carriers, including AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. Companies in the recent failure to adopt Huawei phones due to security concerns of the US government. Huawei has repeatedly refuted reports of its connection to the Chinese government and reiterated its promise to maintain the privacy of its customers. However, it seems that the company finally decided to abandon the idea of entering the smartphone market in the USA.
Despite the few official presence in the smart phone market in the country, Huawei is still the third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world after Samsung and Apple. It certainly has the potential to fill this gap if the company can sell its smartphones through telecommunications companies in one of the most lucrative markets on the planet.
The New York Times quotes a close source as saying that Huawei had laid off five US employees, one of them being Willam B. Plummer, who was vice president of foreign affairs at Huawei. After serving in the company for eight years, Willam B. Plummer was the only non-Chinese citizen who was a senior member of the US Policy Group at Huawei.
He used to pressure on behalf of Huawei but his efforts have not yet borne fruit. Huawei will not be hiring a replacement for Mr. Willam B. Plummer or whether to start pursuing growth opportunities in markets other than the United States.
