US Secretary of State flies to UK as concerns over Huawei's role in the UK's 5G network rise
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is flying into Britain amid deep concern in Washington at Boris Johnson's decision to allow the Chinese tech giant Huawei to have a role in the UK's 5G network.
The National Security Council (NSC) agreed on Tuesday to give the green light for the firm to play a limited part in building the network, despite repeated appeals by the US not do so.
The Trump administration has warned it would suspend intelligence-sharing with any ally that allows the Chinese firm into its 5G networks amid fears security could be compromised.
