Qualcomm trying to partnership with US Goverment to sell chips to Huawei

With Huawei's sanctions from the United States government in situ , the company can't make chips of its own so it's forced to source its SoCs from other makers, like MediaTek, Samsung and Qualcomm. Even Huawei said that the Mate 40-series could be the last smartphones to run on an in-house Kirin chipset. That's why Qualcomm sees this as a chance to start out lobbying the United States government so it might let it make chips for Huawei.

Qualcomm tries to influence the United States government to let it sell chips to Huawei. In its presentation, Qualcomm says that Huawei will ultimately be ready to source its hardware to form 5G phones within the near future and in doing so, it'd seek partnership with other, non-US companies like Samsung and MediaTek. In fact, rumors suggest that Huawei is looking into a partnership with MediaTek in 2020. Qualcomm would then lose about $8 billion a year during a missed opportunity.

The two tech giants have worked within the past and still work as Qualcomm is providing low-end to mid-range chips for a few of Huawei's phones but never has the latter used Qualcomm's chips for its high-end smartphones.
