\n Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on Communist China to release two Canadians who were formally charged with espionage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese charges are politically motivated and completely groundless,\u201d Pompeo said in a statement on Monday. \u201cThe United States stands with Canada in calling on Beijing for the immedia<\/a>te release of the two men and rejects the use of these unjustified detentions to coerce Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor have been detained in China since 2018. Pompeo, in the statement, echoed Canada\u2019s \u201ccall for immediate consular access to its two citizens, in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, as China has prohibited such access for almost six months, and the world has no knowledge of the two Canadians\u2019 condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two men were taken into custody just weeks after Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Chinese tech-giant Huawei, was arrested at a Vancouver airport on charges filed in the US.<\/p>\n

Meng is also the daughter of Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei.<\/p>\n

American authorities want Meng to stand trial for bank fraud and violating US sanctions against Iran, among other charges.<\/p>\n

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there was a \u201cdirect link\u201d between Beijing\u2019s arrest of Kovrig and Spavor and Canada\u2019s arrest of Meng.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been obvious from the beginning that this was a political decision made by the Chinese government and we deplore it and have from the very beginning,\u201d Trudeau said, according to Politico.<\/p>\n

He also thanked Canada\u2019s \u201cfriends and allies around the world\u201d who have spoken out about the \u201carbitrary detention\u201d of the Canadians.<\/p>\n

Asked if he would consider trading Meng for the release of Kovrig and Spavor, Trudeau said, \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCanada has a strong and independent justice system,\u201d Trudeau said. \u201cAnyone who\u2019s considering \u2026 weakening the independence of our justice system doesn\u2019t understand the importance of standing strong on our principles and our values.\u201d<\/p>\n

US intelligence agencies warned that Huawei receives funding from China\u2019s security app<\/a>aratus.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
