The tests on Huawei's firmware were provided to government agencies in the US, UK and lawmakers. The report has been widely reported for its implications for the company and for confirming decisions made by the Trump administration.
A White House and President Trumpsaid the test results support the government's assessment that Huawei maintains covert access to some of the systems it has installed for international customers.
