“We’re not going to put American information at risk.”
Those are the word of The U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
Mr Pompeo said United States has been engaging other nations in ensuring they “understand the risk of putting Huawei technology into their IT systems” and that “they’ll make good decisions when they understand that risk.”
The U.S. Secretary of State on Thursday in an interview on Fox Business Network, Pompeo said nations in Europe and elsewhere need to understand the risks of implementing Huawei’s telecommunications equipment and that when they did, they would ultimately not use the company’s systems.
Mr Pompeo warned that the United States would not be able to partner with or share information with countries that adopt Huawei Technologies Co Ltd systems, citing security concerns.
“If a country adopts this and puts it in some of their critical information systems, we won’t be able to share information with them, we won’t be able to work alongside them,” Pompeo said.
