WASHINGTON -- Huawei Technologies CFO Meng Wanzhou was granted bail by a Canadian court on Tuesday, as the U.S. seeks her extradition while negotiating a trade deal with Beijing.

Meng, 46, the daughter of Huawei's founder, has been accused by U.S. authorities of misleading multinational banks over transactions linked to Iran, putting the institutions at risk of violating U.S. sanctions.
