The move, costing billions and delaying the deployment of 5G by up to three years, came after a Government-ordered review found the security of Huawei’s equipment could not be guaranteed because of US sanctions. Speaking this morning, Mr Hancock defended it as a ‘sensible, balanced decision’. Donald Trump earlier boasted that ‘I did this myself, for the most part’, as he spoke of how he ‘convinced many countries’ not to use the Chinese company’s technology (Picture: AP) He told Sky News: ‘We all know Donald Trump don’t we? But I think this is a sensible decision. ‘All sorts of people can try to claim credit for the decision but this was based on a technical assessment by the National Cyber Security Centre about how we can have the highest quality 5G systems in the future. ‘There is that interaction with the US sanctions that the Culture Secretary set out and I think it’s a sensible, balanced decision.’ Asked about the post-Brexit trade negotiations with the States, he said: ‘We are looking for a good US trade deal and working very closely on that, I think that’s a very important consideration.’ {“@context”:“https:\/\/schema.org”,“@type”:“VideoObject”,“name”:“Metro.co.uk”,“duration”:“T47S”,“thumbnailUrl”:“https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2020\/07\/15\/07\/30781578-0-image-a-16_1594793422799.jpg”,“uploadDate”:“2020-07-15T07:09:18+0100”,“description”:“Trump boasts about getting UK to drop ties with China’s Huawei, if they wanted to maintain ties with the US.”,“contentUrl”:“https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2020\/07\/15\/590380495334556942\/640x360_MP4_590380495334556942.mp4”,“height”:360,“width”:640} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Mr Trump told reporters at a press conference that no White House ‘has been tougher on China’ than his administration. He said: ‘We convinced many countries — many countries — and I did this myself, for the most part — not to use Huawei because we think it’s an unsafe security risk. It’s a big security risk. ‘I talked many countries out of using it. If they want to do business with us, they can’t use it. ‘Just today, I believe that UK announced that they’re not going to be using it. And that was up in the air for a long time, but they’ve decided.’ {“@context”:“https:\/\/schema.org”,“@type”:“VideoObject”,“name”:“Metro.co.uk”,“duration”:“T48S”,“thumbnailUrl”:“https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2020\/07\/15\/07\/30782576-0-image-a-22_1594795395368.jpg”,“uploadDate”:“2020-07-15T07:42:22+0100”,“description”:“There are challenges there’: Matt Hancock on UK-China relations after the government officially ditched Huawei from its 5G plans.”,“contentUrl”:“https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2020\/07\/15\/5119913541667894925\/960x540_MP4_5119913541667894925.mp4”,“height”:540,“width”:960} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video While the Government’s move pleased Mr Trump, who is facing a fight for re-election, it angered Beijing. China’s ambassador to the UK Liu Xiaoming tweeted: ‘Disappointing and wrong decision by the UK on Huawei. ‘It has become questionable whether the UK can provide an open, fair and non-discriminatory business environment for companies from other countries.’ Huawei denies being a security threat (Picture: Reuters) The reaction signalled a reversal in relations since former prime minister David Cameron heralded a ‘golden era’ between the two countries less than five years ago. The ban, ordered after a National Security Council meeting chaired by the PM, led to concerns being raised in the Commons about the possibility of retaliation from Beijing. Huawei, which denies being a security threat, said decisions on its future in the UK had become politicised and urged ministers to reconsider the move.
