New York (CNN Business) Huawei is laying off more than 600 workers in the United States as the Chinese technology giant continues to struggle with new restrictions from the Trump administration.

The layoffs, announced Tuesday, will take place at Futurewei, which is Huawei's US-based research and development subsidiary. The company blamed the layoffs on a "curtailment of business operations" caused by the US' restrictions.

"Decisions like this are never easy to make," Hauwei said in a statement. "Futurewei will continue to operate in strict compliance with US local laws and regulations."

Huawei previously warned that the pressures placed upon it by the Trump administration would result in the loss of US jobs, and the Wall Street Journal reported last week that layoffs were imminent for Huawei employees based in the United States.

"Given the United States' vulnerability in cyberspace, I think the government is bending over backwards to make America safe, but they're going too far," Andy Purdy, Huawei's chief security officer and former head of the US Department of Homeland Security's national cybersecurity division, told CNN last week.
