President Trump is failing Canada on the issue of China. Canada is boldly supporting the United States in challenging Chinese aggression, yet receiving only token U.S. support in face of Chinese retaliation.

Responding to Canada’s ongoing and legally warranted detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on U.S. extradition charges, China has illegally detained two Canadians, and is actively targeting Canadian export markets. In response, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pushed President Trump to make clear to Chinese president Xi Jinping that the U.S. expects its allies to be treated fairly.
