Trump on UK's Huawei ban: 'I did this myself'

Wed, 15th Jul 2020 07:11

LONDON, July 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said
that he was responsible for Prime Minister Boris Johnson's
decision to ban Huawei from Britain's 5G network from the end of
2027.

On Tuesday, Johnson ordered Huawei equipment to be purged
completely from Britain's 5G network by the end of 2027, risking
the ire of China by signalling that the world's biggest telecoms
equipment maker is not welcome 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
said, before referring to the UK ban.
