Trudeau firmly rejected appeals that he intervene in the extradition proceedings against Meng Wanzhou, Huawei’s chief financial officer, in order to win the release of Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. “We can do both,” she said. “It isn’t a question of, ‘We need to do everything we can to release Michael,’ or, ‘We protect Canadians in the future.’Nadjibulla added: “There is no cost-free solution. We have to pay a price.

“Even though I’m disappointed that the PM said no to this particular solution,” Nadjibulla said, “I’m glad that we finally have a conversation on what can be done and options that can be explored to resolve Michael’s prolonged and painful detention.” Their detention is considered in the West as retaliation for Meng’s arrest, which Beijing has repeatedly denied.
