Trump: Any Nation who chooses to use Huawei 5G will jeopardize Intelligence and information Sharing with US

US President Donald Trump has said any nation who chooses to use an untrustworthy 5G vendor will jeopardize America's ability to share Intelligence and information at the highest level with such country.

US ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell in a tweet confirmed on Sunday that President Trump had threatened to cut off intelligence-sharing with countries that dealt with Chinese tech firm Huawei.
