U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo congratulated Britain on its decision to strip out Chinese telecoms firm Huawei from its telecommunications network.
“I think the United Kingdom made a good decision,” he said, speaking to reporters in London on Tuesday.
Pompeo added: “We don’t have an end state that we seek from Huawei. We have an instinct for the people in the United States, which is to make sure that … the private data that belongs to Americans doesn’t end up in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.”
