The U.S. State Department has said intelligence-sharing with Canada will be reevaluated if Chinese telecom giant Huawei is allowed to take part in building the country’s 5G wireless network.

Canada remains the only member of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance that has not yet taken a clear position on whether to block Huawei from its national 5G infrastructure, though the federal government has been reviewing the issue for nearly two years.
