Google has warned Trump that it risks jeopardizing US national security if it continues to push for restrictions on exporting products to Huawei, seeking to continue to deal with the Chinese company on the US blacklist.

The Financial Times quoted three well-informed sources as saying that Google's top executives are pressing US officials to lift the export ban on Huawei without a license from Washington.

The Trump administration announced the ban after the collapse of trade talks between the United States and China, sparking protests from some of the biggest US technology companies, which fear the consequences of the embargo.

Google is particularly concerned that it will not be allowed to update its Android operating system on Huawei smart phones, and it fears that Huawei is already developing its own version of the Android operating system away from Google.

The Financial Times said its sources that Google argues that the version of Huawei of the Android system will be more at risk of piracy. Huawei said it will be able to develop its operating system "very quickly".

"Google argues that by preventing it from dealing with Huawei, the United States risks creating two types of Android operating system: the original version and the hybrid version. The hybrid version is likely to have more holes than the original version, meaning phones will be more vulnerable to penetration, not least by China. "

Washington has long been concerned that Beijing may use communications equipment sold by Huawei to spy on Western countries. But since Donald Trump took office as president, these concerns have come to the fore.

Last month, Trump announced a new set of measures targeting the Chinese company. These include: giving the Ministry of Commerce the power to prevent Huawei from selling 5G generation equipment in the United States, and a blanket ban on US companies from selling their products to the Chinese group.

After the ban, Google stopped its business with Huawei, cutting off future updates to the Android system. But since then, the US administration has given 90 days to companies to cut off dealings with them.
