A key pillar of Johnson’s vision for a future outside the world’s richest single market is a trade deal with the US and the Huawei license risks setting up a clash with Trump. Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee suggested curtailing intelligence-sharing with any allies whose networks run on the equipment of “untrusted” vendors.
The widely-expected announcement by Johnson’s government is a compromise between the outright ban on Huawei sought by the US and the access sought by telecommunication companies. UK officials said the cap could be reduced over time, and the aim is to work with allies to help develop alternatives and get to a stage where the country doesn’t need to rely on high-risk vendors at all.
Ericsson AB and Nokia Oyj are the primary Huawei rivals in networking equipment now, but the UK decision may help create more options for certain segments of wireless networks. Vodafone, which uses Huawei in its UK radio network, said “we aim to keep any potential disruption to customers to a minimum.”
Huawei has been a key supplier to the UK and many other European phone networks for over a decade so this decision will be closely watched by others. In fact, many European nations are leaning in the same direction as the UK.
