LONDON (US) – US President Donald Trump said that he was the one responsible for Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s decision in banning Huawei from Britain’s 5G network by the end of 2027.
On Tuesday, Johnson ordered Huawei equipment to be wiped completely, which could invite China’s anger. This could as well be a signal that the world’s biggest telecoms equipment maker is unwelcome in the West.
“We convinced many countries, many countries, I did this myself for the most part, not to use Huawei, because we think it is an unsafe security risk, it’s a big security risk,” Trump added.
