• The US has requested the extradition of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou from Canada.
• Meng was arrested in Canada on December 1, and her case has rocked Canadian politics as well as relations with China, which has claimed the arrest was politically engineered by the US.
• The US indicted Meng and Huawei on Monday, accusing the tech giant of flouting US sanctions and stealing trade secrets from T-Mobile.
• Meng Wanzhou and Huawei deny any wrongdoing.
The US has officially requested the extradition of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou from Canada, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Canada said it received the extradition request on Tuesday, according to The Journal, a day before the deadline the US had to submit the request. Meng was arrested during a stopover in Vancouver, British Columbia, on December 1 on suspicion of breaking US trade sanctions.
On Monday, the US indicted Meng and Huawei, accusing the tech giant of circumventing US sanctions on Iran and stealing trade secrets from T-Mobile. Sen. Mark Warner called the company a "national security threat," believing the company to be acting as a backdoor for the Chinese government.
