The consequences of China/US trade war have been taking Huawei by storm for months now. As situations were shaping up in favor of Huawei, the US government decided to turn the tables.
Rob Strayer, US’s State Department’s deputy assistant secretary for cyber policy, has issued a statement. He saying that the US will either punish or cut-off intelligence agreements if they purchase 5G equipment from the Chinese giant.
Huawei is going to start production of its 5G base situations, starting in October. The current stance by the US will pressurize countries into breaking off their deals with the company.

The European Union has taken up the case. It is going to release a report regarding the security issues that accompany the implementation of 5G systems.
The countries in the European Union will have to get the networking equipment certified before purchase. It might lead to disputes since Huawei and Hungary have been strategic partners for a long time.
On the other hand, Huawei is hopeful about the ban lifting soon which looks impossible with the current turn of events.
