Looks like AT&T may not be the only carrier to ditch its plans to sell Huawei phones in the US.
Verizon has abandoned its plans to sell phones made by Huawei, including the Mate 10 Pro. Sources speaking to Bloomberg say that Verizon faced pressure from the US government to drop those plans.
Neither Huawei nor Verizon have commented on this report.
Huawei is a major mobile company in many parts of the globe, but it hasn't been able to gain much traction in the US. That's because while Huawei has been selling unlocked phones in the US for awhile now, most US consumers still buy their phones from carriers.
Getting its phones onto AT&T and Verizon's shelves would've given Huawei a huge chance to boost its market share in the US, especially since AT&T and Verizon are the two largest carriers in the US. However, US government concerns about Chinese spying appear to have thwarted Huawei's hopes for growth.
