U.S., Poland to sign 5G deal when Trump visits -Polish official

Reuters | August 29, 2019

The Polish government is expected to sign a deal with Washington on security and cooperation relating to 5G telecoms technology when U.S. President Donald Trump visits Poland this weekend, a senior official said on Thursday. The planned accord comes after months of lobbying by the United States for Warsaw and other European governments to ban business with China’s Huawei, the world’s largest telecoms equipment maker and a major player in next-generation 5G mobile networks, on security grounds. Poland, which has close relations with the United States, in July proposed tightening its own cyber security standards and could ban certain products or suppliers from key parts of a future 5G network.
