BLAME THE MESSENGER: May Sacks UK Defense Secretary Over Huawei Leak.
No. 10 has finished its investigation into the source of an embarrassing leak about a National Security Council vote to allow Huawei to help build out the UK’s 5G infrastructure despite Washington’s warnings and even some misgivings within the UK government itself.
As a result, the PM has decided to sack Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson, presumably because he was the source of the leak.
Williamson took his chances and paid the price. But he seems to have had the national interest in mind, which is more than can be said for any Western government doing business with Huawei.
