Former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich assailed the Trump administration’s strategy for rolling out 5G wireless technology, saying the U.S. risks forfeiting leadership to China’s Huawei Technologies Co. and joined critics from both parties who urge a focus on different airwaves.
“We are losing to Huawei,” Gingrich said Thursday in an interview, calling for “dramatically better leadership out of the White House than we’re getting now.”
