HUAWEI : POMPEO uses UK visit to reiterate his warning against 5G collaboration

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is expected to urge the UK Government to rethink the possibility of any collaboration with Chinese tech giant Huawei´s involvement in its 5G rollout, in his upcoming visit to the UK. In the aftermath of "leak-gate" which saw UK Defence Minister Gavin Williamson removed from office, the UK party line is now that no final decision has been made.

Pompeo is scheduled to hold talks with Prime Minister Theresa May and make a speech on foreign policy ahead of US President Donal Trump´s state visit next month. The US has already warned that there is "no safe level" of involvement with the Chinese company.
