LONDON—A delegation of U.S. officials arrived in Britain on Jan. 13 to try to persuade Britain not to use Huawei equipment in the upgrade of its telecoms network, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

Britain is expected to make a final call on how to deploy Huawei Technologies equipment in its future 5G networks later this month.
