While the 3GPP Profile and Spec aren't exactly "Open" by Open Source and HN's Standard, It is definitely not closed or proprietary. You can implement a working 3G / 4G / 5G system. It just wouldn't be competitive with commercial offering.

So No, US aren't out of the 5G circle. They just dont have any companies making specific part of the 5G infrastructure.

Be serious, being in the periphery means that Trump was proposing buying share in Nokia and not investing in Cisco.
