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 trump s agenda, though, are threats posed by china, including its dominance of 56 telecoms networks. america has warned its allies against using equipment made by china s huawei, saying the kit could be used by beijing for spying. these concerns stem from a chinese law that requires domestic companies to co operate with the government on security matters. critics saying that this law could compel huawei to be a vehicle for spying. the company denies the allegations made by washington. meanwhile, germany s chancellor angela merkel has also sounded a warning, saying europe a key part of nato needs to have a unified policy on the rollout of the next generation sg networks to address espionage concerns. mike weston is direc
