OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday said his government had no involvement in the arrest of a top executive from Chinese technology giant Huawei, who was detained at Vancouver airport.

Trudeau, speaking to reporters in Montreal, said Ottawa had been given a few days’ advance notice about the plan to arrest Meng Wanzhou. He declined to give further details, citing the fact that Meng faces a bail hearing on Friday.
