A senior U.S. envoy on Monday pressed Canada about Ottawa's forthcoming decision on whether to allow China's Huawei Technologies to take part in its 5G network, a move Washington opposes, officials said.

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump last year warned Canada it could lose access to top secret intelligence unless it blocked Huawei 5G technology.Robert Blair, Trump's special representative for international telecoms policy, discussed the"importance of a secure and reliable next-generation telecommunications infrastructure" and the defense partnership between the United States and Canada, the U.S. embassy said in a statement.

The White House has accused Huawei of being able to spy on customers and maintaining close ties to the Chinese government, allegations Huawei denies. Ottawa sources directly familiar with the government's deliberations say a decision is still many months away.
