Australia will stand firm on it's ban on Huawei from its broadband and 5G networks, even if President Donald Trump softens the US position on the Chinese telecommunications provider, Foreign Minister Marise Payne said.

Australia has banned Huawei from building its National Broadband Network and the US has been pressuring the other countries in the Five Eyes intelligence sharing network to follow suit, insisting Huawei can act as a conduit to Beijing, something the company denies.This has been undermined in recent days, however, with Mr Trump openly musing about potentially softening the US position by potentially involving the company's status in US-China trade talks before his meeting with China's Vice Premier Lie He in the Oval Office last week.
