Today Boris Johnson is set to defy the United States and a lot of other advice and allow Huawei to help build the UK’s 5G network. This not only has reported risks to the United Kingdom it also is a move which risks a major diplomatic row with President Trump and the USA. Many around Trump past and present have repeatedly warned that the move, which Boris Johnson is expected to confirm this afternoon, would risk a dramatic rupture in the United Kingdom’s intelligence-sharing relationship with Washington. In addition to this it could jeopardise the prospect of a post-Brexit deal between the two countries.

Tim Morrison, who is a former advisor, took to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Monday and warned that approving the Huawei deal could lead Congress to block a UK-US trade deal. Mr Morrison said : “we are talking about allowing the Chinese Communist Party into the telecommunications system, into the healthcare data, into the personal financial records of every Briton, I’m concerned that, as the United Kingdom finally appears to be at least at the end of the beginning for Brexit, what this could mean for a US-UK trade agreement.”

Despite these concerns, Mr Johnson has reportedly resolved to approve the deal anyway, saying that a “very important strategic win” was possible to provide consumers with faster broadband without “comprising our critical national infrastructure.” The decision will be formally taken at a meeting of the National Security Council on Tuesday morning and announced around lunchtime.

In addition to this several House Republicans, including Liz Cheney, Jim Banks, and Mike Gallagher, have also warned  that allowing Huawei a role in the UK’s 5G network could damage the intelligence-sharing relationship between the UK and US. Both the UK and US are members of the so-called Five Eyes countries, along with Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, who share their most sensitive intelligence with each other. Mr Cheney told Politico “our relationship with the U.K. right now is among our very closest, if not the closest in the whole world, I think that if they make the decision that if they’re going to have Huawei in their 5G that we have to recalculate [and] reassess whether or not they can continue to be among the closest of our intel partners”.
