Concerns about Huawei’s 5G rollout topped the agenda of a third US-France cybersecurity meeting, Washington’s top cyber diplomat Robert Strayer told reporters in Paris.
The United States did not ask France for a Huawei ban, he said, but for strong protections against potential “malicious intrusions” from software and firmware updates of any systems provided by the company.
If France failed to take adequate steps, said Strayer, the United States “will have to reassess how we conduct operations” that require sensitive information-sharing including joint military exercises and counter-terrorism operations.
