Meng Wanzhou: US prosecutors reach deal in case of Huawei executive at center of diplomatic row
The agreement with Wanzhou clears a topic of dispute between US and China and could bring release of two Canadians
A senior Chinese executive from Huawei, held in Canada since 2018 on US charges of bank and wire fraud, will be allowed to leave the country after a deal with prosecutors, removing a major irritant from US-China relations.
Meng Wanzhou, Huawei’s chief financial officer and daughter of the giant corporation’s founder, was freed from house arrest in a Vancouver court hearing, hours after US prosecutors announced an agreement in New York under which charges are to be suspended – and eventually dropped.
