She is free on bail in Vancouver and is due in court this Wednesday, when a date for an extradition hearing will be set. “The US and Canada have abused their bilateral extradition agreement,” said a Foreign Ministry statement. Martin said the charges against Meng are not crimes in Canada and that his client maintains her innocence.
Trump said he would consider intervening in the case against Meng if it would be in the interest of US national security or help forge a trade deal with Beijing.
