Pompeo urges EU to exclude ‘high-risk suppliers’ from 5G networks

WASHINGTON: U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday urged the European Union to exclude “high-risk” suppliers from all parts of 5G networks.

The EU on Wednesday followed Britain’s example, allowing members to decide what part China’s Huawei Technologies can play in its 5G telecoms networks and resisting pressure from Washington for an outright ban.
