BREAKING: British PM May fires defense secretary over leaks about Huawei.
LONDON — British Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson was summarily fired Wednesday after an investigation into leaks from a secret government meeting about Chinese telecoms firm Huawei.
In the letter released by Downing St., May told Williamson that there was"compelling evidence" suggesting his"responsibility for the unauthorized disclosure" from the National Security Council.There was no immediate comment from Williamson. An investigation was launched last week after newspapers reported that the security council, which meets in private, had agreed to let Huawei participate in some aspects of Britain's new 5G wireless communications network.The United States has been lobbying allies to exclude Huawei from all 5G networks, noting that the Chinese government can force the company to give it backdoor access to data on its networks.
