Washington Asks Allies to Drop Huawei
The U.S. government has initiated an extraordinary outreach campaign to foreign allies, trying to persuade wireless and internet providers in these countries to avoid telecommunications equipment from China's Huawei Technologies Co., according to people familiar with the situation.
American officials have briefed their government counterparts and telecom executives in friendly countries where Huawei equipment is already in wide use, including Germany, Italy and Japan, about what they see as cybersecurity risks, these people said. The U.S. is also considering increasing financial aid for telecommunications development in countries that shun Chinese-made equipment, some of these people say.
Also: The US is warning other countries against using Huawei's 5G tech

I'm working very hard on that one. I'm very honored to have signed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Act. Creating my Cyber Space Force. It's like my Army, Navy, Air Force & Marines, but for cyber. Separate but equal. Because it is not enough to have an American PRESENCE in cyber. We must have American DOMINANCE in cyber. Not just at the Boarder, at the everywhere!!!
