Fed up Canada tells U.S. to help with China crisis or forget about favors

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada is leaning on the United States to help settle a dispute with China, which has started to block imports of vital Canadian commodities amid a dispute over a detained Huawei executive.
In a sign of increasing frustration at what it sees as a lackluster U.S. response, Prime Minister Justin Trudeaus government is signaling it could withhold cooperation on major issues.
China has upped the pressure on Canada in recent weeks over the arrest of Huawei Technologies Co Ltd Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou, arrested last December on a U.S. warrant. It halted Canadian canola imports and last week suspended the permits of two major pork producers.
After Mengs Vancouver arrest, Chinese police also detained two Canadian citizens.

coming election this fall. Or maybe it is just Trump being Trump. But the US wants the woman.

specifically meant to hurt Trudeau.
