Vice President Pence: 'We'll see' if UK decision on Huawei is a dealbreaker for a trade pact

. The official added that the Trump administration will work "with the U.K. on a way forward that results in the exclusion of untrusted vendor components from 5G networks."

"We continue to urge all of our partners and allies to carefully assess the multifaceted impacts of allowing untrusted vendors access to important 5G network infrastructure," Pentagon spokesman U.S. Army Lt. Col. Dave Eastburn wrote in a statement to CNBC. When asked about the issue by CNBC on his first day as secretary of Defense, Mark Esper said he was "very concerned about Chinese technology getting into our systems or the systems of our allies.", adding that the U.S. trade war with China is as much about national security as it is about the economy.

Echoing Dunford's sentiments, then-acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan told lawmakers that "China aims to steal its way to a China-controlled global technological infrastructure, including 5G." "It provides the capacity to maliciously modify or steal information. And it provides the capacity to conduct undetected espionage," Wray added.Huawei and ZTE have previously denied allegations that their products are used to spy on Americans.
