US may stop sharing intelligence with the UK after Huawei decision, Mike Pompeo tells LBC

Описание: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suggests the US will not share intelligence with the UK after Boris Johnson's "disappointing" Huawei decision in his only UK broadcast interview on LBC.

This is after the government agreed to give the Chinese tech giant a limited role in the UK's 5G network construction despite the US voicing concerns for national security.

"We said we were disappointed, we view the intrusion of the Chinese Communist Party and to information technologies systems as a very great risk, a national security risk as well as a core privacy risk.

"If your health records are on a system that belongs and is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, that's not something you'd probably choose in the first instance," Mr Pompeo said.

"So we are looking forward to working with our United K partners on the security elements of this and then working alongside them to develop what we think about as trusted networks.

"It's not about Huawei, it's about ensuring that the information that we put our citizens' data on is secure and safe," he said.
