Last week, British newspaper The Telegraph reported that the U.S. Senate is considering blocking the deployment of spy planes to Britain as a result of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s decision to allow Chinese telecom giant Huawei to participate in the country’s 5G network.
The move, suggested as a provision to the U.S. National Defence Authorization Act for the next fiscal year, calls for the prohibition of the “stationing of new aircraft at bases in host countries with at-risk vendors in their 5G or 6G networks.”
