U.S. National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien has warned UK about allowing China’s Huawei Technologies into its 5G telecommunications networks, saying such a move would pose a risk to UK’s secret intelligence services, the Financial Times reported.

“They are just going to steal wholesale state secrets, whether they are the UK’s nuclear secrets or secrets from MI6 or MI5,” O'Brien told the FT in an interview published on Dec. 24.
