Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with British leaders in London to reiterate U.S. concerns about allowing China’s Huawei to have a role in British communications networks, describing the Chinese Communist Party as the biggest threat of the current era.

Pompeo, seeking to defuse tension between the two allies, said recent actions wouldn’t affect broader ties. He said the United States and the UK would retain and enhance their special relationship once the UK leaves the European Union this week.
