WASHINGTON— The United States has told Germany that it will share less intelligence with its security agencies if the country’s wireless network uses China’s Huawei Technologies Co to upgrade to 5G, the Wall Street Journal reported on March 11 in the first explicit U.S. warning to Germany of consequences for declining to shun Huawei.

The U.S. Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, issued the warning in a letter dated Friday, the newspaper said.
