Another American plane with 39 Canadians on board also landed in Vancouver, officials said. Those passengers were to take a connecting government flight to Trenton later in the day. She said the evacuees have been under a “tremendous amount of stress,” noting some were separated from their children or had to leave others behind.
Sino-Canadian relations soured in December 2018 over Canada’s arrest on a US warrant of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou and Beijing’s detention on espionage suspicions of two Canadians — former diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor — in apparent retaliation.
