I do not know the possibility, but it looks like such action is one way of getting information for blackmailing leaders like Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron among others. Which is why they are so tolerant of the USA.
Now, allowing Huawei 5G network to be used in Germany, France, UK and Europe would probably deny the USA the ability to continue with the spying on their leaders, based on the 4G network. So, the mantra was and is Huawei is a national security risk. For whom? Denying the USA the ability to spy on others is a national security issue for the USA to continue having a hold on European leaders. The USA propaganda machine works so well, that the world does not have a counter and the propaganda sticks like everything else..
Putin said that what the USA did to others itself, it will accuse others of doing it to them. The USA can interfere in the internal affairs of others using the CIA and NGOs, but any other country cannot interfere or even comment about the USA, for example in its election. We all know the long running story about Putin interfering in the 2016 USA election that Trump won. Four years of investigating came up with nothing, and Saturday Night Live (SNL) comedy show had a field day making fun of the connection.
Actually, Trump was harping on the Chinese involvement after he lost the 2020 election. Russia and China are always the whipping boys for anything happening outside the normal in the USA. And the rednecks and hillbillies lapped it all up like a blockbuster movie.

That is why most leaders are still supporting the USA. Besides the use of blackmailing arising from the spying, the other big hand grabbing their testicles or boobs of leaders are the decade long investments that countries have pumped into the USA.
Leaders of the Gulf countries are held captive by the USA holding most of their oil wealth invested in the USA and the West. The seizure of Russian assets was a warning to them not to rock the boat. Marcos Jr is more concerned about the ill-gotten wealth of his father in the hands of the USA than caring for the Philippine citizens. Elsewhere, poorer countries care two hoots about bending over backwards for the USA. The USA has no holds over them.
Recent reports indicate that the USA is importing more products despite those tariffs. The USA cannot do without imports. Those retailers like Walmart will close shop if they could not import goods to stock its shelves and the USA consumers cannot live without them. The sad thing is that the rednecks and hillbillies still believe that China and others are paying those tariffs, when the fact remains that they are footing the bill. It is an added tax paid by wholesalers and retailers that will eventually be passed on to them.
