It has been reported that America is seeking to have Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies who has been in the custody of Canadian authorities’ since December 2018, extradited to the US to face banking fraud charges and misleading an American company about Huawei‘s business in Iran.
It has emerged that the whole plan is to use Ms Mneg as a bargaining chip by Washington to get Beijing to sign a trade deal which, according to Donald Trump who spoke to Reuters immediately she was put into custody, would be the largest trade deal ever made and would be good for America’s national security.
