It sounds more like the US IC treats HP like one of its own departments, and it would very much like to do the same with Juniper.
The idea that even allies will be using US networking equipment in a couple decades seems implausible. Everyone is well-aware that any boxes coming out of the US are as likely to be tapped as ones coming out of china.
