The U.S. is pushing ahead with efforts to get Canada to extradite a top Huawei Technologies Co. executive, the Justice Department said, in a case that has added to trade tensions with China.

“We will continue to pursue the extradition of defendant Ms. Meng Wanzhou, and will meet all deadlines set by the U.S.-Canada Extradition Treaty,” department spokesman Marc Raimondi said Tuesday. “We greatly appreciate Canada’s continuing support in our mutual efforts to enforce the rule of law.”
