Trudeau says hopeful Biden will keep up pressure on China

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday he is hopeful that US President-elect Joe Biden’s administration will keep up pressure on China to release two Canadians held for nearly two years. On Monday, the prime minister expressed confidence in the US election system while declining to comment on Trump’s refusal to concede defeat, saying he would continue to work with Trump on bilateral issues until Biden’s inauguration in late January.
