British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has made up his mind to completely exclude Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei from the UK's 5G network. It is believed that while China is angry with his decision, US President Donald Trump is happy.
The United States had pressured Johnson to reverse the decision
In fact, the US had pressured Johnson to reverse its decision in January to give Huawei a limited role in the 5G network. The figures hidden by China regarding the epidemic and the decisions taken by China on Hong Kong have also been the reason for the decision.
National Security Council meeting chaired by Johnson on the Huawei issue
On the Huawei issue, Johnson chaired a meeting of the National Security Council on Tuesday morning. The decision taken at the meeting will be announced by Media Secretary Oliver Dowden at the House of Commons at 5 pm Indian time.
The Environment Minister said that there was a slight change in the policy on the issue of Huawei
The change in policy by the UK is linked to the US ban on chip technology. When Sky News asked Environment Minister George Austis about Huawei's issue, he said, "There has been little change in policy since the sanctions were imposed by the US."
Johnson will take the risk of angering the world's largest economy by banning Huawei
Now that Britain is preparing to secede from the European Union, Johnson will risk angering the world's largest economy by banning Huawei. The United States has accused the company of spying for the West.
Nice article. I doubt whether prime minister may change his decision because of pressure from trump.
