President trump is in the uk meeting allies at a nato summit in london this week. The labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has welcomed the us president with a letter, demanding that he will not push medicine prices up through a post brexit trade deal. Dominating trumps agenda, though, are threats posed by china, including its dominance of 56 telecoms networks. America has warned its allies against using equipment made by chinas huawei, saying the kit could be used by beijing for spying.

In may this year huawei was placed on the us entity list, effectively banning american firms from doing business with huawei because of National Security concerns. The move barred us companies, including google, intel and qualcomm, from working with huawei. But a few days later the us temporarily eased some of the restrictions for instance, allowing google to send through security updates for its android operating system. But this temporary exemption is due to end. There had been reports the us might extend the exemption, but President Trump cast doubt on that, saying he dosnt want american firms to do business with huawei.
