OSAKA, Japan — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office says Canada received “broad support” from European leaders at the G20 on the issue of two detained Canadians in China.
The prime minister, who met with European partners this morning in Osaka, has been eyeing additional support from world leaders on the issue at the summit of major economies.
The arrests of the Canadians — Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor — are largely viewed as retaliation for the December arrest of Chinese high tech executive Meng Wanzhou.
Meng remains under house arrest in Vancouver, where she awaits extradition to the U.S. to face allegations of fraud in violating Iran sanctions.
