On 21 February 2019, Fox News broadcast an interview in which the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, threatened to withhold intelligence from allies if they adopted Huawei’s 5G telecoms equipment. “In some cases there’s a risk we won’t even be able to co-locate American resources, an American embassy, an American military outpost,” he warned.

The intervention came in the wake of months of lobbying by Washington officials concerned by the threat Huawei poses, as a Chinese company, to US national security. But just hours later Donald Trump posted a short Twitter thread which appeared to contradict the entire campaign.
