US in talks over deal to resolve case of arrested Huawei finance chief

• Meng Wanzhou held in Canada on bank fraud charges
• Case has put US-China-Canada relations under strain

US prosecutors are discussing a deal with lawyers for the Huawei finance chief, Meng Wanzhou, to resolve criminal charges against her, a person familiar with the matter said, signaling a potential end to a case that has strained ties between the United States, China and Canada.

Negotiations between Meng's attorneys and the US justice department picked up after the US presidential election a month ago, the person said, but it is still unclear what kind of deal could be struck.
