| The United States is looking for partners to find alternatives to Huawei |

American Attorney General (William Barr) has previously suggested that the United States wants to control its main competitors in Huawei, but the White House later rejected the proposal.
Blair also said that the UK should have a "careful review" of the decision to use Huawei devices that Washington officials have described as a potential security threat, and that the company has opposed this.
