Art of the deal.

How can we charge a foreign corporate executive for his company trading with another country when it is not against his country's laws to do so? Particularly when he was arrested in yet another country.

If any US financial institution was involved in anyway, there's your answer. That includes using dollars.

It is against US law to export products, with certain US made technology, to certain countries such as Iran. Huawei phones and tech have US manufactured chips or something like that in them.

I love this move. The Trump Administration means business. This is a shot across the bow of China.

BBC explains possible reason for arrest.

US media have reported that Huawei is under investigation for potential violations of US sanctions against Iran.


Huawei is one of the largest telecommunications equipment and services providers in the world

One report in the New York Times said the US commerce and treasury departments had subpoenaed the firm over suspected violation of sanctions against both Iran and North Korea.

US lawmakers have repeatedly accused the company of being a threat to US national security, arguing that its technology could be used for spying by the Chinese government.

Reacting to the arrest, US Senator Ben Sasse told Associated Press that China was aggressively engaged in undermining US national security interests, often "using private sector entities".

"Americans are grateful that our Canadian partners have arrested the chief financial officer," he added.
