BRUSSELS: EU countries must take urgent action to diversify their 5G suppliers, the European Commission said on Friday, amid US pressure on the bloc to follow Britain and ban China’s Huawei from 5G networks.
In November last year, the EU agreed to take a tough line on 5G suppliers to reduce cybersecurity risks to next-generation mobile networks, seen as key to boosting economic growth and competitiveness.
