The documents published on Thursday (23rd) showed that Huawei's chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou's lawyer applied to the Canadian court to suspend the execution of the US extradition procedure.
According to Reuters, Meng Wanzhou's lawyer requested the reason and listed the reason. The lawyer claimed that US President Trump and other senior officials attempted to use Meng Wanzhou as a bargaining chip to be bargained with a trade dispute, thereby destroying the judicial procedure.
Shortly after Meng Wanzhou was arrested, Trump told reporters: If I think it is beneficial to the country, if I think it will be beneficial to the largest trade agreement in history, this is important.It will intervene when it is considered necessary.
Lawyer Meng Wanzhou believes that Trump's willingness to interfere with the case when necessary constitutes offense and coercion.
Lawyer Meng Wanzhou also accused the United States misleading Canada in terms of case evidence, causing to be unfavorable to Meng Wanzhou, saying that the United States missed evidence far from the due diligence, admitting and accurate level.
The White House and the U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to the request for comment.
Meng Wanzhou's extradition hearing is scheduled to come to an end at the end of April 2021, but neither parties cannot appeal to the final ruling.In May, a Canadian judge ruled that the United States' allegations against Huawei Meng Wanzhou met the dual criminal standards, which means that the Canadian judicial authorities eliminated the first obstacle of the Meng Wanzhou extradition case.
Meng Wanzhou was arrested by Canada at Vancouver International Airport in December 2018. Canada is a requirement for the US government's judicial assistance.
