The White House has indicated its intent to work with U.S. allies to fulfill the four lines of efforts outlined in the administration’s national 5G security strategy policy document.

As stated in the document, the administration intends to facilitate the domestic rollout of 5G as well as assess the risks and identify the core security principles of 5G infrastructure. The administration also wants to address the economic and national security risks posed by the worldwide 5G launch to the U.S., MeriTalk reported.
