LONDON – Britain was expected Tuesday to approve the phased removal of Chinese telecoms giant Huawei from its 5G network, a decision long sought by Washington but resisted by Beijing.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson was chairing meetings of his cabinet and the National Security Council, with an expected decision on the issue from 1130 GMT.
Last week, China warned Britain it could face repercussions in terms of its international reputation as a trading nation if it backed down on Huawei.
