U.S. Secretary of State meets with Prime Minister Trudeau

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says China’s detention of two Canadians is not morally similar in any respect to Canada’s arrest of a Chinese tech executive at Washington’s request.

Pompeo was in Ottawa Thursday for meetings with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland in advance of this weekend’s G-7 summit in France. Earlier Thursday, China said the fate of the two men as well as the increasing difficulties in China-Canada relations is Canada’s fault and is linked to the detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou.
