As well they should.
Protesting to State won't do any good.
State had nothing to do with this. It's all AUSA's, not even Main Justice attorneys.
Trump's comments give Canada an out.
They can say the extradition treaty doesn't apply where the individual sought is in reality a "bargaining chip" in a trade war.
Hard for the US to complain given Trump's comments.
It's bad for Meng, though: she will be forever like Polanski, unable to leave China.
Trump can order the AUSA's to dismiss the case. But he will look for another out.
- onetimemanytime 8y agoChina can play ball all day with Canada and as we saw can make Canada regret getting involved. (In theory, Canada had no choice, you must arrest if you want to have the same relations with USA /EU.) US will probably close this as part of a trade deal. Until then smaller countries used as proxies will suffer, maybe for a long time.
