A senior Commerce Department official overseeing an office that is at the center of President Trump ’s battle with Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei Technologies Co. left her post.

美国商务部一名高级官员离职，她的办公室是特朗普总统与中国电信业巨头华为技术有限公司(Huawei Technologies Co.)斗争的中心。

Nazak Nikakhtar, who led the department’s Bureau of Industry and Security, will return to a more junior position she once held in a different division, a Commerce Department spokesman said last Thursday.

美国商务部发言人上周四说，商务部工业和安全局(Bureau of Industry and Security)局长Nazak Nikakhtar将回到她曾经在另一个部门担任的一个级别较低的职位。

Ms. Nikakhtar, a trade and export-control lawyer, was nominated in April as undersecretary for industry and security. She has led the division in an acting role while awaiting confirmation.Officials within her division have been reviewing applications that U.S. tech companies and others have submitted in an attempt to reopen their supplier pipeline to Huawei.

Nikakhtar是一名贸易和出口管制律师，今年4月被提名为主管工业和安全事务的副部长。她在等待确认期间，以代理局长身份领导该部门。她所在部门的官员一直在审查美国科技公司和其他公司提交的试图重新成为华为供应商的申请。

In May, Commerce Department officials put Huawei and its affiliates on an export blacklist, citing national-security concerns. U.S. officials have warned that Huawei products could be used to spy on or disrupt telecom networks. Huawei officials have denied these claims.

Commerce Department officials later told U.S. suppliers—a group that collectively sold $11 billion worth of technology to Huawei last year—that they could apply for licenses to resume working with the company.

Officials at the agency haven’t approved those license applications, which have become a key bargaining chip in U.S.-China trade negotiations. Mr. Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. won’t do business with Huawei, but hasn’t said whether that means those license applications won’t be approved.

美国商务部官员还没有批准这些许可证申请，这已经成为美国讨价还价的一个关键筹码中美贸易谈判。特朗普曾多次表示，美国不会与华为做生意，但没有说这是否意味着这些许可证申请不会获得批准。

Ms. Nikakhtar also oversaw part of a group of regulations designed to restrict foreign investments in U.S. companies, which stemmed from lawmakers’ efforts last year to protect the country’s economic and national security.

Nikakhtar还监管了一系列旨在限制外资对美国公司投资的规定的一部分，这些规定源于议员们去年保护美国经济和国家安全的努力。
