Pompeo flies to UK for talks amid US Huawei concern

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is flying into Britain for talks amid American concern at the decision to allow Chinese tech giant Huawei to have a role in the UK's 5G network.

But Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has denied the decision will affect the UK-US intelligence-sharing relationship.Mr Pompeo's visit was an opportunity to"reaffirm the special relationship following the UK's departure from the EU and discuss ways to broaden and deepen trade ties".refused the UK's request for the extradition of Anne SacoolasMr Pompeo will also meet Prime Minister Boris Johnson during his visit, before flying on to Ukraine on Thursday.

Tom Tugendhat, former chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, tweeted that the government's"statement leaves many concerns and does not close the UK's networks to a frequently malign international actor".

I take it the USA are concerned that they can't make any money out of this.

Bring Harry Dunns killer with you

Maybe he’ll scream and curse at them and then not understand why they don’t do what he wants.

the poodle fast becoming a shitsu

Give us Harry's killer, your denying justice, But Hay monkey says monkey do, Not, USA 💩 stick your special relationship, stick your great deal 🇬🇧🇬🇮

Abbott's son in prison.

Australia urged UK to ban this company.

Tell the fat arse to go back to the shambles of a country he comes from and mind his own business.

All mobile phones are capable of 'spying', they spread personal details, Google will even remind you where you have visited. Huawei issue split between security and trade issue. Apple won't unlock phones to fight terrorism. Time to devolope trade contacts other than America.

presumably because an American company didn't get the contract

Oh the feckin yanks are gonna show us who's boss!! Why dont you lot p**s off back home and take your god dam planes with ya!

America are lagging so far behind on 5g, that’s the problem they have with Huawei. 25 years from now China will be the worlds largest economy.

None of his business. America doesn't run the world!

Pompeo is just Trump muppet and an entirely contemptible weakling (viz not defending his staff and attacking the NPR reporter etc). Trump has NO EVIDENCE of Huawei committing any security offences. He is lying in his teeth. USA treats allies with contempt. Send Pompeo packing.

Here come the US Bullies

Coming to tell us what Trump wants and threats if we don’t comply

Fat Mike gonna put some manners on BoJo&Co the same 🤡🤡 who tell us they wont be rule takers 😂

What’s betting that trump shares in another 5g company and he’s upset that people aren’t going with them.

Perhaps the USA are so against Huawei because they will not be able to spy on us, they have form, they bugged EU country leaders phones few years ago and probably still are. If UK use Huawei then the US cant listen in on us.

Relationship lost 'special' status when USA decided to harbour the killer of an innocent british man on british roads. Our security seemingly not an issue for them.

UK shouldn’t welcome that lying crap Pompeo

I don't trust any nation these days frankly. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but, a few years back, weren't the US found to be doing exactly what they claim China will do through Huawei. & Huawei v US tech giants - does anyone else think the whole thing smacks of protectionism?

Not a good time for the UK to seek a fight with the US. Brexit

Pompeo is a POS

Pompeo, Pompeo. Daylight come and you wanna go home!

Trump has proven himself to be a man of his word The government are over relying on the special relationship and Trumps Kind words to date. Their in for a shock America will not back down on sercurity

Why is Pompeo also going to Kiev? Witness tampering? Or more Presidential Extortion?

he needs a favour

How about you bring the fugitive that killed the young boy Harry Dunn with you before you start asking for favours.

Why aren't you covering the French riots?

I guess plenty have their noses in the trough They banned all Huawei equipment on high risk infrastructure. They announced they will only allow Huawei on low/no risk equipment, with a max cap at 35%. On top of that all Huawei equipment must pass inspection by GCHQ. It's effectively a ban when you get into the details. China National Defense Mobilization Law UK does not know this Law....😱😱
