Nokia merged with Alcatel-Lucent, so it is not purely European anymore.
Ericsson works on 5G with Fujitsu, so that looks more like US-free option.

It is my understanding that Nokia _acquired_ Alcatel-Lucent, and the only significant part of that conglomerate still in the US is Bell Labs (which are also now owned by Nokia.)
Do euro vendors provide hardware for the whole chain?
I mean, from dslams, to routers, olts, cpe etc
If wanted to set up an ISP could I without buying non-eu vendors?
What about the rest of the world?
Samsung and LG are both Korea-based, and Sony is from Japan.

I wasn't aware that they had 5g offerings but if they do they are obviously choices too. I'm not aware of any American 5g offerings.
Maybe if you're concerned about privacy you'll have to settle for 4G for a while...
Except they aren't. Just the fact that you mention "both" sides shows your ignorance. The alternative to Huawei, as I have mentioned, is not an American corporation it is a European one (Ericsson or Nokia). This isn't a case of the American government forcing allies to abandon Huawei so an American corporation can profit.
