BERLIN (Reuters) - The United States aims to educate its international partners on the risks posed by next-generation wireless networks manufactured by China's Huawei, but allies will make their own sovereign buying decisions, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.

Speaking after a meeting with his German counterpart Heiko Maas in Berlin on Friday, Pompeo warned that the U.S. might have to withhold data on citizens or on national security if it didn't have confidence in the networks Germany was using.

"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," he said.

I hope the US is not sharing national security Info trough internet, 5g or No 5g. And mister Pompeo in the EU we are prettig capabel of making that assessment. No education needed as we are not educating you on gun controle and good foren policy.
Sorry Pompeo, the other countries know you are a lier. Huawei will continue to be the defacto 5G and network vendor the world. Show us the proves Huawei spy. If no proves then it is all he said she said thing.
You should note that Australia, New Zealand, and Japan have excluded them too over security concerns
