Mike Pompeo and Boris Johnson discuss China as tensions mount with Beijing

Mike Pompeo UK visit

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have had “candid” talks as tensions mounted between China and the Western allies.

The meeting followed the UK Government’s U-turn on Chinese tech giant Huawei’s involvement in 5G networks, a move welcomed by Washington, and after Monday’s suspension of the extradition treaty with Hong Kong in response to Beijing’s national security law.
