Canada Arrests Top Huawei Executive For Allegedly Violating Iran Sanctions (theglobeandmail.com)
Canada has arrested Huawei's chief financial officer on suspicion of violating U.S. trade sanctions against Iran. "Wanzhou Meng, who is also the deputy chair of Huawei's board and the daughter of company founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested in Vancouver at the request of U.S. authorities," reports The Globe and Mail. From the report: "Wanzhou Meng was arrested in Vancouver on December 1. She is sought for extradition by the United States, and a bail hearing has been set for Friday," Justice department spokesperson Ian McLeod said in a statement to The Globe and Mail. "As there is a publication ban in effect, we cannot provide any further detail at this time. The ban was sought by Ms. Meng.
A Canadian source with knowledge of the arrest said U.S. law enforcement authorities are alleging that Ms. Meng tried to evade the U.S. trade embargo against Iran but provided no further details. Since at least 2016, U.S. authorities have been reviewing Huawei's alleged shipping of U.S.-origin products to Iran and other countries in violation of U.S. export and sanctions laws.

A bit of trivia... did you know that there is no constitutional requirement for states to let citizens even vote for president of USA?
However the states decided to allow it through their own laws, which is why each state has slightly different rules about how the electors are "encouraged/required" to vote.
You should look up the term "faithless elector". You might be shocked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
This is one of the reasons I consider anyone that calls America a Democracy to be more than just an ignorant idiot. They are either a moron or intentionally proffering a straight up lie for idiots to gobble up like mad.
