LONDON (Reuters) - A senior British minister on Wednesday denied that U.S. President Donald Trump was responsible for Britain's 5G ban on Huawei, saying the decision was a considered one despite attempts by some individuals to claim credit.
Britain announced on Tuesday it would purge Huawei equipment from 5G by the end of 2027, with Trump saying hours later that: "We convinced many countries, many countries, I did this myself for the most part, not to use Huawei, because we think it is an unsafe security risk, it's a big security risk."
