About an hour after Meng’s plane left Canada for China, Trudeau revealed that Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were also on their way home. The men were arrested in China in December 2018, shortly after Canada arrested Meng on a US extradition request. The indictment came amid a broader Trump administration crackdown against Huawei over US government concerns that the company’s products could facilitate Chinese spying. “Michael Kovrig is free. To the inimitable, indefatigable, and inspiring Michael Kovrig, welcome home!” Ero said in a statement.
