US is encouraging European countries to think carefully about the security and economic implications of rushing forward with using Huawei's technology.

LISBON - EU countries have no reason to use 5G mobile technology from Huawei because Sweden's Ericsson , Finland's Nokia and South Korea's Samsung are on par with the Chinese group in the field, a senior U.S. diplomat said.

Its stance has sparked tensions with allies such as Britain, whose Prime Minister Boris Johnson has granted Huawei a limited role in building a 5G mobile network. "There is no way to fully mitigate any type of risk except the use of trusted vendors from democratic countries," Strayer told reporters. Huawei says it spent $15 billion last year on research to help it achieve market leadership and has said the United States wants to frustrate its growth because no U.S. company could offer the same range of technology at a competitive price.
