 The U.S. government is prepared to help finance in telecom companies in Brazil and other countries to acquire fifth-generation technology that is not provided by untrusted Chinese companies, its top diplomat in Brazil said on Tuesday. Ambassador Todd Chapman said Ericsson, Nokia Oyj and Samsung were companies that have successfully provided appropriate 5G technology that adequately protects information, data flows and intellectual property. The funding would come from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation DFC, a government agency that provides financing for private development projects, he said.
