Trump administration advises the UK against Huawei decision

United States President Donald Trump's administration has issued a warning to prime minister Boris Johnson's government, advising against allowing Chinese firm Huawei a leading role in the country's 5G telecommunications networks, stating it would threaten British secrets. Huawei has denied any affiliation with the Chinese government and claims the US wishes to undermine its operations because no US company can match its quality of service at low costs.
