US Will Rethink Cooperation With Allies Who Use Huawei

From a report: 'It is the United States' position that putting Huawei or any other untrustworthy vendor in any part of the 5G telecommunications network is a risk,' said Robert Strayer, deputy assistant secretary for cyber, international communications and information policy at the State Department. 'If other countries insert and allow untrusted vendors to build out and become the vendors for their 5G networks we will have to reassess the ability for us to share information and be connected with them in the ways that we are today,' he said.
