Trump's national security advisor warns Canada against Huawei 5G

U.S. National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien warned Canada on Saturday about Huawei 5G, saying the inclusion of the company into Canada's future 5G network would be like a "Trojan Horse."

He also said Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig were being wrongfully detained for political "leverage."

O'Brien spoke as well about the Arctic, saying it was a prime front Canada should be concerned about and warned Canada should potentially up-armour the Arctic patrol ships as it could be a place for possible future confrontations.

Take a look at the huge contrast between ZTE and Huawei when both of them are sanctioned by the US, and other privatized corps in China (which many are closed), You can see what is going on behind the company

Huawei is a legitimate telecom company that can offer Canadian consumers a revolutionary wireless experience. To vilify Huawei is to deny consumers choice.

If the alternative solution costs 50% more, the let US pay the difference! US stop talking threats, just subsidize the equipment supplier you want us to buy.

Everything turn to politic on US concern. Why USA so scare. Why USA dont want people around the world united as citizen of the earth. Please saperate politic and business. Why politic upon everythibg? They promote democracy equal for everyone to do anything they want. But when doing business with China fir example, US lost their democracy vision they promote at the early stage. Thats rediculus and evil. Security concern is only for US benifit and other country take the pain
