WARSAW, Poland — U.S. Vice-President Mike Pence says the U.S. and Poland will sign a joint declaration to co-operate on secure new 5G technology.
Pence is in Warsaw filling in for President Donald Trump, who scrapped his trip at the last minute because of Hurricane Dorian.
At a joint news conference following talks with President Andrzej Duda Monday, Pence announced the agreement would be signed later in the day.
Pence said the agreement on a secure digital network will “set a vital example for the rest of Europe.”
The signing comes amid a global battle between the U.S. and China’s Huawei, the world’s biggest maker of network infrastructure equipment.
