U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo endorsed Britain's role in a privileged system for sharing U.S. intelligence as he played down a rift with UK over its decision not to exclude Huawei from supplying 5G telecoms equipment
LONDON - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo endorsed Britain’s role on Thursday in a privileged system for sharing U.S. intelligence, playing down a rift over London’s decision to allow a Chinese firm to help build its new mobile phone network.
Washington has applied strong pressure on countries to exclude Huawei, the world’s largest maker of telecoms equipment, from mobile networks. The United States argues that the firm’s technology could provide “back doors” for Chinese eavesdropping. Huawei denies that its equipment poses a security threat.
“With respect to information and the Five Eyes relationship, that relationship is deep, it is strong, it will remain,” Pompeo said. “All the elements of the five eyes will work together on this to ensure that the systems are sufficiently secure.” FILE PHOTO: U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Britain's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab visit Epic Games Lab in London, Britain, January 30, 2020.
