In a fresh blow to Huawei, Google has suspended Huawei's access to updates of the Android operating system and cut off supplies to the telecoms giant.

This move comes after the Trump administration officially added Huawei to a trade blacklist on Thursday, declaring a national economic emergency to ban the technology and services of “foreign adversaries”. 

The blacklist immediately led to restrictions that will make it extremely difficult for Huawei to do business with US companies.

Chipmakers such as Intel, Qualcomm, Xilinx, and Broadcom have also informed employees that they will no longer be supplying chips to Huawei until further notice.

Huawei's CEO retorted that the company is self sufficient and "does not need US chips", further stating that the company has not done anything to violate the law.

"We have not done anything which violates the law... Policies that threaten trading partners one after another rob companies of risk-taking attitudes, and the U.S. will lose credibility," CEO Ren Zhengfei told Japanese media at company headquarters in Shenzhen on Saturday.
