Speaking after a meeting with his German counterpart Heiko Maas in Berlin on Friday, the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Germany on the risks posed by next-generation wireless networks manufactured by China’s Huawei.
Pompeo said: “They will take their own sovereign decisions, (but we) will speak to them openly about the risks … and in the case of Huawei the concern is it is not possible to mitigate those anywhere inside of a 5G network.”
