Lawyers for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou will argue that she was subjected to an abuse of process, and that former US president Donald Trump poisoned extradition proceedings against her.
Meng, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, and her defense team returned to British Columbia Supreme Court on Monday to fight her extradition to the United States.
Soon after Meng s arrest, Trump made a statement to a Reuters reporter that he reserved the right to weigh in on the case if it would help the US secure a trade deal with China or serve other American national security interests.
