"The overall risk of influence on a supplier by a third country should be taken into account" reads the proposal. It also notes that "risk assessments of supplier's products should take into account all relevant factors, including applicable legal environment and other aspects of supplier's ecosystem."

No suppliers were specifically named in the proposals, but the US government has been discouraging allies from using 5G network equipment from Chinese telecom giant Huawei. US security officials have suggested Huawei technology could be used by the Chinese government to spy on other countries. The company has long denied any wrongdoing and continues to maintain its innocence.
