Press secretary Jen Psaki spoke to questions over how Biden will handle a company accused of being able to spy on customers.

Telecommunications equipment made by interested vendors, including Huawei, is a threat to the security of the US and our allies, Psaki added.

The U.

S would work closely with allies, toe help, secure and invest in their telecoms networks.

Huawei, China's top telecoms equipment company, declined to comment and the Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond.

On top of accusations is geared could be used for espionage.

Washington has also alleged Huawei has stolen intellectual property and violated sanctions on Iran.

However, Huawei has denied any wrongdoing.

Biden's predecessor, Donald Trump, place the company on a tree blacklist and lead a global campaign to convince allies to exclude it from their networks.

However, Biden's nominee to the Commerce Department, Gina Raimondo, sent up red flags for China hardliners when she refused to commit to keeping Cua way on that black list.
