NEW YORK -- The "tide is turning" against Huawei Technologies as a number of countries exclude the Chinese company from their 5G infrastructure, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says, framing it as a win for security.

The U.S. foreign policy chief on Thursday cited "a transatlantic awakening to the truth of what's happening" on China issues including "Huawei, an arm of the Chinese Communist Party's surveillance state."
