Pompeo starts EU tour with anti-Chinese 5G deal
By EUobserver
The US and Slovenia signed a declaration against using Chinese 5G data networks on security grounds, as US secretary of state began a five-day tour of central European countries Thursday. Pompeo will also visit Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia. His visit comes after the US said it was pulling 12,000 soldiers from Germany and amid US opposition to a Russian-German gas pipeline, in which Austria is taking part.
