Huawei: Britain’s sovereignty will be in jeopardy, insists US

Britain’s sovereignty will be in jeopardy if the UK allows Huawei to develop its 5G infrastructure, the US secretary of state has warned.

Mike Pompeo described the decision facing Britain’s national security council as “momentous”.

The US administration has previously warned allies not to allow the company’s equipment to form part of their 5G networks, claiming it would be a security risk due to its links to the Chinese government. Huawei has repeatedly denied that its equipment could be used to spy on people and the US has totally failed to prove it.
