It is not uncommon for manufacturers to scale down the production of their smartphones, depending on the demand. The earlier report was embraced without a doubt due to the public perception that Trump’s ban will have a huge impact on Huawei’s phone sales. Already, some Huawei smartphone owners are reportedly selling their phones and prices of some of Huawei’s high-end phones like the P30 Pro have dropped drastically in recent times.

Thus, it is no surprise the company is still talking tough. Huawei may be forced to cut down production at some point if the trade ban is resumed.
