The White House has signed off on special licenses for some U.S. companies to do some business with Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies Co., according to a person familiar with the process.

据一位知情人士透露，白宫已签发特别许可证，批准一些美企与中国电信设备巨头华为技术有限公司(Huawei Technologies Co.)开展一些业务。

The approval is likely to be interpreted as an act of goodwill as senior U.S. and Chinese officials gather for trade talks on Thursday. Business groups hope negotiators can agree on an interim or partial deal to prevent higher tariffs and additional duties on imports from China.

鉴于美中高级官员周四将举行贸易谈判，这一批准可能会被解读为示好之举。商业团体希望谈判代表们能达成一份临时或部分协议，避免提高对中国商品加征的关税以及对更多中国商品加征关税的计划落实。

The partial reprieve for Huawei follows up on a plan President Trump outlined after meeting Chinese President at a summit of the Group of 20 leading economies in June. The administration had blacklisted Huawei earlier this year, contributing to an economic standoff between the U.S. and China dominated by tariffs and other sanctions.

部分解禁举措是在履行特朗普(Donald Trump)于6月份在二十国集团(G20)峰会上与中国领导人会晤后提出的一项计划。今年早些时候，特朗普政府将华为列入黑名单，导致美中出现了以关税和其他制裁为主的经济对峙局面。

Mr. Trump had said U.S. companies could do business with Huawei if the cooperation didn’t harm U.S. national security, allowing the Commerce Department to grant licenses in those cases. No licenses have yet been granted, although the U.S. government has granted a temporary reprieve allowing companies to cooperate with Huawei.

特朗普此前表示，美企可以与华为开展业务，前提是这些业务不会损害美国国家安全，允许商务部在这种情况下发放许可证。虽然美国政府已批准允许企业与华为合作的临时措施，但尚未授予任何许可。

Further details on which companies might be licensed and how national-security concerns would be addressed couldn’t immediately be learned.  The New York Times earlier reported the White House action.

目前无法立即获知有关哪些公司可能获得许可证及如何解决国家安全担忧的更多细节。《纽约时报》(New York Times)早些时候曾报道了白宫的这一行动。

The White House referred questions to the Commerce Department, which said the temporary reprieve remains in effect and that it had no additional announcements at this time.

白宫让记者向美国商务部提问，美国商务部表示，临时豁免令仍然有效，且暂时没有更多的声明。

Senior U.S. and Chinese officials are expected to meet Thursday to discuss possible ways out of the trade war before an increase in U.S. tariff levels on Chinese products scheduled for Oct. 15 and the addition of major new consumer imports to the tariff list, set for Dec. 15.

预计美中高级官员将于周四会面讨论结束贸易战的可能办法，美国计划于10月15日提高对中国部分商品征收的关税，且定于12月15日将主要消费品纳入对华加征关税的清单中。

The Huawei licenses or other concessions, including purchases of American agricultural goods by China, could be included as a part of such a deal, the person said.

这位知情人士称，华为相关许可证，或者包括中国采购美国农产品在内的其他方面让步都可能会成为两国协议的一部分。

Still, Mr. Trump this week said he doesn’t favor a partial deal, and senior GOP lawmakers have expressed their preference for a broad deal to end the trade war and roll back tariffs. 

不过，特朗普本周曾表示，他不赞成达成一份局部协议，并且有共和党资深议员表示，他们更倾向于达成一项可以终止贸易战并降低关税的广泛协议。
