Europe is currently the biggest foreign market for Huawei, whose equipment President Trump might soon ban by executive order from U.S. networks.

"With respect to Chinese infrastructure delivered via Huawei, we’ve done here in Poland what we’ve done all across the world: We’ve made known the risks that are associated with that, risks to the private information of the citizens of the country, risk that comes from having that technology installed in network and systems," Pompeo said in Warsaw in response to a question from the Washington Examiner. “Individual countries then will make their own choices.”

He immediately added, "We've also made clear that if they make a certain set of decisions that it will be more difficult for the United States Department of Defense to work alongside of them — that is, we’ll never put our equipment in a place which would present risk to our technology from having Chinese technology collocated alongside of it that presents a risk.”
