Robert Strayer, the deputy assistant secretary for cyber and international communications and information policy, said the U.S. will reassess sharing information and connecting with countries that use Huawei. Strayer said the U.S. government will not distinguish between countries that allow Huawei to build core 5G infrastructure or supply non-core technologies, like antennas, in potential reassessments.

Talking point: The U.S. has spent several months urging allies to keep Huawei technology out of their networks, and Strayer’s statement makes it clear that a limited ban won’t appease his government. It’s a response to reports that Huawei may be able to supply non-core 5G technology to the U.K., which has banned the company from supplying core technology. The U.K. is part of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance that includes Canada, the U.K., New Zealand, the U.S. and Australia; the last three have all banned Huawei. Canada, for its part, is still in the midst of its own 5G security review.
