WASHINGTON—U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on May 23 the chief executive of China’s Huawei Technologies was lying about his company’s ties to the Chinese regime, and he believed more American companies would cut ties with the tech giant.

The United States placed Huawei on a trade blacklist last week, effectively banning U.S. firms from doing business with the world’s largest telecom network gear maker.
