The chief security officer at Huawei Technologies USA signaled on CNBC on Wednesday that the Chinese telecom giant might be open to taking steps to address U.S. national security concerns.
“In different countries in the world, we negotiate with respective governments on what kind of assurance framework they need,” Huawei’s Andy Purty told “Squawk Box.” Some measures, he said, might include requirements around selling to government or to critical infrastructure projects. While saying he cannot prejudge any possible conditions, Purdy said he would be “astounded if we weren’t open to those kinds of risk mitigation measures.”
