Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fired his ambassador to China after the envoy said it would be “great” if the US dropped its extradition request for a Chinese tech executive arrested in Canada. McCallum made the remark to the Toronto Star on Friday. That came a day after he issued a statement saying he misspoke about the case earlier in the week and regretted saying Sabrina Meng Wanzhou has a strong case against extradition. The arrest of the daughter of the founder of Huawei Technologies at Vancouver’s airport December 1 severely damaged relations between China and Canada.
