Until now, the UK government have decided to allow Huawei to play a role in the 5G deployment here in the UK. Despite US concerns, the UK allowed Huawei to be used in “non-core” kit.

However, GCHQ’s National Cyber Security Centre has delivered new findings into Huawei and it’s believed that they can no longer assure the security of Huawei’s products because of new US sanctions.
