This Week In Terror (Mali, Pakistan, Nigeria, Philippines, United States) - Duration: 7:39.
If you're not familiar with the endless persecution of non-Muslims in places like
Pakistan, and Egypt, and Iraq, either you've spent the past few decades living in a snow
fort in Antarctica, or you're a radical leftist screwball who's so busy admiring
your own virtue in the mirror that you just can't find the time to pay any attention
to people who are actually suffering.
Let's take a quick look at Islamic terror in the news over the past week.
Mali:
A branch of Al Qaeda in northwestern Africa claimed responsibility for an attack on a
United Nations base in Mali that killed 10 Chadian peacekeepers on Sunday, saying it
was in response to Chad's resumption of diplomatic relations with Israel.
In a statement, the United Nations mission in Mali said that a peacekeeping base had
come under attack in the northeastern village of Aguelhok.
The village is in one of the most troubled regions of the country, which has repeatedly
been in the cross hairs of a jihadist insurgency.
Al Qaeda jihadis attack UN peacekeepers because a country has diplomatic relations with Israel.
Welcome to Islam's moral compass, where the needle always points to terrorism.
Pakistan:
There are nearly 200 cases of Christians in Pakistan charged with blasphemy - the controversial
law made famous by Asia Bibi.
Father James Channon, director of the Peace Center in Lahore, which promotes inter-faith
relations, said research by the Catholic Church has revealed 187 live cases of Christians
charged with blasphemy which in Pakistan can carry sentences of life imprisonment or death.
Added to this figure is the case of Asia Bibi, whose death penalty conviction for blasphemy
was overturned last October by Pakistan's Supreme Court, a decision which created headlines
around the world.
Speaking in an interview with Aid to the Church in Need, Father Channon said: "Even now, after
her acquittal, she is anything but safe.
Radical Islamists are trying to find her so they can kill her.
That is why she is currently under state protection."
In Pakistan, if you criticize Sharia, you'll be charged with blasphemy and sentenced to death.
In the West, if you criticize Sharia, you'll be accused of racism and sentenced to ridicule.
Seems like Islam always finds a way to avoid criticism.
Nigeria:
A Christian denomination based mostly in the Northeast, the Church of the Brethren in Nigeria,
otherwise known in Hausa language as Ekklesiyar Yan'uwa A Nigeria (EYN), has appealed to
the federal government to rebuild its church branches razed by Boko Haram insurgents.
The EYN says Boko Haram has destroyed a total of 1,125 of its church buildings and other
structures over the years of insurgency.
These include its headquarters office complex, which has been rebuilt, a church auditorium
which is yet to be fully reconstructed, and an adjacent pastor's residential quarters
where reconstructions work is yet to start.
Never forget, if you smirk while someone beats a drum in your face, you're a despicable
monster who deserves violence.
But if you burn down more than a thousand churches, you're a misunderstood victim
whose ideology is beyond criticism.
The Philippines:
The southern Philippines city of Jolo is on lockdown after a deadly double bombing Sunday,
as the authorities try to ensure security and investigate the attack that killed at least 20.
The bombing—which was claimed by ISIS—has raised fears of an increase in separatist
violence in the country's restive Mindanao region, following a referendum last week in
which an overwhelming majority of voters backed self-rule.
Bombs exploded at the Jolo Catholic Cathedral during Sunday mass, officials said, killing
20 and injuring at least 81 people, including 14 soldiers and two police officers.
The first device went off inside the cathedral and the second targeted nearby soldiers who
rushed to help the victims of the first explosion, a military spokesman said.
So, if you don't like the way a referendum goes, you blow up a church.
More timeless wisdom from the religion of peace, tolerance, equality, and feminism.
The United States:
Three men from Lansing, Michigan, were arrested for allegedly supporting ISIS — with one
of them taken into custody as he prepared to fly to Somalia, authorities said Tuesday.
Muse Abdikadir Muse, 23, his brother Mohamud Abdikadir Muse, 20, and another relative,
26-year-old Mohamed Salat Haji, were all charged with conspiring to provide material support
to a terrorist organization, prosecutor said.
Agents arrested Muse Muse at Gerald R. Ford Airport in Grand Rapids on Monday, where he
was about to take a series of flights that would have eventually landed him in Mogadishu,
Somalia, according to a federal complaint.
Mohamud Muse and Haji were arrested hours later.
The three defendants had all "pledged allegiance to ISIS through videos they recorded themselves,"
according to a statement by the Department of Justice.
Think about this.
These young Muslims had their entire lives ahead of them.
They could have worked, and worshiped, and raised kids in the land of the free and the
home of the brave.
Instead, they were willing to risk everything to join ISIS.
Why?
Well, as long as we ignore everything that Muhammad said and did, jihad will remain a
perpetual mystery.
Muslims in Nigeria, and Mali, and Pakistan, and the Philippines, and the United States
conclude that they're supposed to terrorize unbelievers because they've all coincidentally
misunderstood their religion in exactly the same way.
Of course, I should point out that there's really no difference, practically speaking,
between, on the one hand, a religion that actually calls for the violent subjugation
of the entire world, and, on the other hand, a religion whose followers misunderstand it
so much that they go out and try to violently subjugate the entire world.
Either way, you, and your family, and your friends, and your civilization, are targeted
for terror.
If you're satisfied with everyone you know being targeted for terror, by all means, pay
no attention to the words of Allah and Muhammad.

most trusted sources say about terrorizing unbelievers.

The US and Venezuela's New "President" Guaido - Duration: 9:09.
Venezuela has a new president.
Sort of.
This guy may be on his way out.
But that depends on who you ask.
Welcome to America Uncovered.
I'm Chris Chappell.
Things have been a bit chaotic in Venezuela lately.
And not just because the inflation
hit 1 million percent by the end of last year.
And could hit 10 million percent this year.
I mean, at this point, what's a few million percent, give or take?
In Venezuela, it's literally cheaper to use cash than toilet paper.
Which, not only sounds really uncomfortable,
it's also why you should never eat food
from an unlicensed Venezuelan street vendor.
Wait, what's the big story again?
Oh, right.
There's suddenly a new president.
Sort of.
OK, you probably already know about Nicolás Maduro...
Venezuela's president for the last 6 years
the one who tries to hide the fact that he's a corrupt dictator... by dancing.
And dancing.
And dancing!
And... ok, the people have had enough.
No seriously.
They've had enough.
Enough of the massive inflation.
Enough of the enforced weight-loss programs.
And enough of the police violence
that's killed hundreds of protesters in recent years,
and four people just this past week.
So now this guy stepped in: Juan Guaidó.
You've probably never heard of him before this week,
because—let's face it,
how many Americans can even name the US Senate Majority Leader?
It's...Martin something...right?
But that's essentially what Juan Guaidó is to Venezuela.
He's the President of the National Assembly of Venezuela.
So like the US Senate Majority Leader,
but 54% younger, and 97% less like a turtle.
But Venezuela actually has two Assemblies.
There's the National Assembly,
which Guaidó was elected to, and is now is head of.
And there's the Constituent National Assembly,
which is a special government set up by Maduro
and dominated by people from his United Socialist Party.
That makes the original National Assembly a sort of opposition group.
It's not like the US Senate and House of Representatives,
which are both legitimate ruling bodies.
It's more like the Great Western Schism of 1378,
in which there were two popes who each claimed to be the legitimate pope.
Or like the Great Eminem Schism of 2000,
when it was unclear which one was the Real Slim Shady.
So Guaidó's assembly declared Maduro
to be an illegitimate leader of Venezuela,
because Maduro's re-election last May
was widely condemned as a sham
and a move towards further dictatorship.
And then Guaidó was like,
"Well, according to the constitution,
I'm the new interim president.
And the professor from the hit Netflix show Money Heist is going to help me."
And Guaidó *was* legitimately elected by the people.
But he was elected as a member of the National Assembly,
not as president.
Nonetheless, he has a number of supporters in Venezuela
who see him as a new hope for their country.
The Venezuelan Luke Skywalker, if you will.
I didn't say Rey.
I'm not willing to be that controversial.
Of course, Venezuelan politics,
like politics everywhere, is complicated,
and just because people don't support Maduro,
doesn't mean they support the opposition, either.
So at this point, Venezuela has anywhere from zero to two presidents.
And the rest of the world is forced to choose:
Do we still recognize Nicolás Maduro
as the legitimate president of Venezuela?
Or the relatively unknown Juan Guaidó?
It's a topic of debate for every country.
But the US has come out strongly in favor of Guaidó.
"Nicolas Maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power.
The National Assembly is the duly-elected representative of the people
and through their constitutional system
and now the interim president, Juan Guaido;
it represents the will of the people."
And now the same position is backed
by Canada and most of Latin America,
including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia...
basically everyone except Guyana and Saint Lucia
—which don't matter—
and Mexico—which does.
Mexico's left-leaning president has said he has a non-intervention policy.
Oh, and Cuba.
But that's not a surprise,
since Cuba's been supporting Maduro since before it was cool.
Not that it was ever that cool.
So most of the Western hemisphere
is now supporting the new Juan Guaidó.
But will he really replace Maduro?
There's still a lot we don't know.
Will Maduro leave quietly,
or will he use the military to put up a fight?
And will the military continue to side with Maduro,
or break away?
Will there be more bloodshed?
How will this affect relations with the US?
After Guaidó declared his interim presidency this past Wednesday,
Maduro gave American diplomats 72 hours to leave the country.
If Maduro does eventually step down or is forced out,
how long will that take?
Because only after that
can Guaidó seriously start trying to fix Venezuela's hyperinflation
and food shortages.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
has said that the US will pledge $20 million dollars
of humanitarian aid to Venezuela to help with that.
And how long will Guaidó even be president?
In theory, he's only an interim president,
until new elections are held.
But historically speaking,
people who get into powerful positions tend to not want to leave.
Because, they say, they haven't yet been able to do
all the things they definitely totally plan to accomplish.
So there's still a lot we don't know, and can't easily predict.
It is interesting, though, to see how some Americans
looking at what's happening in Venezuela
are making assumptions
based on the history of the US in Latin America,
and also their dislike of the Trump Administration.
Like Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who tweeted:
"A US backed coup in Venezuela
is not a solution to the dire issues they face.
Trump's efforts to install a far right opposition
will only incite violence and further destabilize the region.
We must support Mexico, Uruguay & the Vatican's
efforts to facilitate a peaceful dialogue."
It's fair to say that the US has had a checkered history
with coups in Latin America.
And yes, people might be worried about another Iraq, or Libya.
But to say that what is happening in Venezuela
is a US-backed coup is a stretch.
Also, Guaido is not "far right opposition,"
he's a member of the Popular Will party,
a center-left social-democratic party
whose main leader was put in prison, and then house arrest.
Now, without US support and recognition,
the opposition, which has been heavily targeted by Maduro,
wouldn't have been able to get as much international recognition
as they now have.
But the US government isn't talking about
US military intervention in Venezuela.
Ultimately, the fate of Venezuela is up to Venezuelans.
And I know this is weird to say on a show called America Uncovered,
but it's a mistake to look at what's happening
in the world only through the lens of US politics.
Which is how you get conservatives supporting
a democratic socialist and progressives supporting a socialist dictator.
And a former Mexican president supporting Trump.
The world is a weird place.
So we don't know how this will turn out.
But with the US and most of Latin America
throwing their weight behind Juan Guaidó,
one thing is certain.
Something's going to change.
And I hope it starts with importing toilet paper.
Because after food, toilet paper is Venezuela's number two problem.

John Bolton Admits US Wants To Take Venezuela's Oil - Duration: 5:06.
Well, it's the first Monday following the government reopening this past week, the end
of the week.
So a lot of furloughed workers are returning to work today, national park starting to reopen
after the cleaning process begins.
Uh, but what's really interesting is the fact that Republicans over the weekend, we're attempting
to distance themselves from the government shutdown that lasted 35 days and became the
longest in US history.
You had people like Susan Collins and Marco Rubio going on the Sunday talk shows, trying
to say, listen, we shouldn't ever shut down the government.
It's a bad negotiating tactic.
It never works.
And usually it hurts the people who instigated it.
Uh, you know, that's actually what Marco Rubio said.
It hurts the people who instigated it.
So Rubio, there is admitting Donald Trump instigated it.
Republicans instigated it and they lost big time.
So he and Susan Collins are out there saying, look, we shouldn't ever do this again.
This is bad policy.
Nobody likes this.
Let's, let's move on.
And then you have people like Mick Mulvaney, you have Kevin McCarthy, the House minority
leader.
You have Ted Cruz.
Those folks are out there trying to distance themselves from the shutdown in another way.
They're actually blaming the Democrats for the shutdown even happening there.
Just abdicating all responsibility and saying, look what these Democrats did to you.
Ignore the video that's still viral right now with Trump saying he'll own the shutdown
and he's going to shut it down and he'll take the blame and it's all on him.
Forget that.
That even happened.
Let's just keep calling it Schumer shut down.
In fact, let's make a clever little Hashtag of Schumer shut down, which is what Ted Cruz
did.
It's what Mick Mulvaney was saying.
He said Republicans were the only ones who were trying to bargain seriously here.
McCarthy said that Donald Trump was doing a great job with his negotiating tactics.
Yeah, that's not true.
None of this is true.
Your Guy Lost Your guys shut down the government.
Your guy and your party repeatedly refused to take up democratic passed legislation that
would have reopened the federal government and given furloughed workers their back pay.
That was all you.
You did that, but right now what we're witnessing is republicans attempting to rewrite history
specifically the last 40 days or so.
They want us to think that it was either the Democrats' fault that had happened or that
every republican who joined in it really regrets it and they'll never do it again and they've
learned their lesson and they're going to move on.
The truth is that we're only three weeks away from another government shutdown.
The Democrats are not going to budge and they should not budge.
Nancy Pelosi, you know, a lot of people had concerns about her becoming how speaker, again,
I was one of them and I will freely admit that and I will also freely admit that I guess
on this particular issue I was wrong.
Nancy stood up.
She stood her ground and she forced Trump into a corner and he was forced to back down.
So I am proud of Nancy Pelosi for that.
I'm proud of everything she has done during this shutdown and I hope that she continues
it and I hope that three weeks from now when Trump understands he will not get the funding
for that wall.
We do not go through another, another government shutdown and he decides to cut his losses.
Tell aunt ann coulter to basically go live in a hole somewhere because nobody wants to
hear from you and we're going to get by with government as usual.
That's what needs to happen.
Trump needs to turn off the Fox News.
He needs to stop listening to Ann Coulter.
Stop letting rush limbaugh tell them what to do and he needs to do what's best for this
country and what the American public wants.
And that is to not shut down the government.
And more importantly, not build a wall of steel slats along our southern border.

BREAKING ALERT , Another Migrant Caravan Turns Violent , Trying To Illegally Cross US Border - Duration: 11:22.
Welcome to USA news today
Please subscribe and check
notification box
To get all breaking news alerts and latest updates on hot cases
Today US immigration officials will start sending some asylum seekers back to Mexico while their cases are
Processed the policy is set to be
Introduced at the San Ysidro Tijuana port of entry in California with a busiest border crossings in the entire world
We imagine s working on that story from Los Angeles today. Hey, William. Good morning
Good morning bill
this is how it is supposed to work and to do two things number one and
Catch-and-release where people arrive in US illegally and disappear for decades secondly to deter future
Immigrants. So remember only 60% of those crossing the Mexican border. They're not Mexican
They're Central Americans 94 thousand families last year 99 percent are still here because unlike Mexicans the u.s
Can't just send them back an immigration judge must hear their claim and even when deported officials say 90 percent
Don't leave
Once they step into the country, you know what happens right? You know what they do
It's called what do they call it? You know they put one foot in our country right and we got them
So here's how it works
save us accepts 50 asylum seekers a day after it shelters the most vulnerable the other company children the disabled the
LGBT population the rest would be required to stay in Mexico while the u.s. Considers their claim technically
This is a pilot begins today only in San Ysidro at the port of entry
Where hundreds gather every day in Tijuana waiting to get called?
So now they'll enter the port
State their claim but instead of ice taking them to a shelter of getting a bus ticket to stay in family here in the US
They will be sent back to Mexico
Given a toll-free number to call to find out the status of their case and if necessary
A bus will take them to federal court in San Diego again only in San Ysidro the u.s. Hopes to expand it
But if it gets too big, there's gonna be a backlash in Mexico bill. Secondly, it will roll out today officially expect
Court challenge so I'll have to survive that to continue but they'd like to believe that in the future
They could go to other ports of entry
Along the border. It's a national security problem and a
humanitarian
Problem ranchers like Jim Chilton who live along the Arizona border with Mexico are increasingly concerned over the situation
Right in their backyard their stories are being heard in Washington as a GOP House delegation
This week made a visit to the border near Nogales the officials met with Border Patrol and visited ranchers
Congressman Andy Biggs says a wall is key to securing the border. We need to build a barrier
We need to build a fence of some kind that's what that's number one. Number two. We're dealing with Border Patrol agents
Who were basically undermanned? Dan Bell owns a cattle ranch that stretches tens of thousands of miles on the border
He says there was a border patrol agent killed in the 90s by drug smugglers on his ranch
Our time on the ranch is spent just dealing with the issues associated with with the illegal human smuggling and healing
On this ranch. The Border Patrol actually told me that 40 percent of all illegal drugs smuggled here into the u.s
Happened along parts of this border and agents like art del Cueto echo the congressman on calls for a physical barrier
The issue that a lot of people have is they hear the word wall and and they stay focused on
brick and mortar a brick and mortar brick and mortar
We need something because I can tell you right now
This ain't cutting it
So this is basically what you have dividing us here yet
The police chief of Nogales Roy Bermudez says though a wall could be helpful
It shouldn't be the priority rather a push for more Border Patrol agents and better technology to monitor movements between the u.s
And Mexico at the end of the day, that's only a barrier. We can build the tallest and biggest
walls which in Nogales, Arizona
We already have one but they're going to find a way they're gonna find a way to get through it to get under it to
Get over to do whatever they need to do to get through chief Bermudez adds there needs to be common ground
Between the GOP and Democrats because the barriers quote are not going to come overnight and the solution is needed quickly in
Nogales Arizona Charla or
FoxNews at the barrier it wouldn't happen
It wouldn't happen. They could have fewer people. They could put people other places instead of having everyone
Concentrated right here and it's all common sense and Nancy and Chuck could know that look
They're not winning this argument that losing the argument badly. They know it and I said about an argument
It's not about politics for me. It's not doing the right thing
And I could I could do it a lot easier things I could just forget this like everyone else did he should have been done
Thirty years ago and 20 years ago and ten years ago and five years ago
I could have done like everyone else just so to say hey, forget it a
Lot of the crime in our country is caused by what's coming through here. These people do the most incredible job
And they're not given they're not given a full hand
because they need the barriers if they don't have the barriers and
You just said it better than anybody can say it where we have a good strong barrier. You don't have problems now
The problem is to go to the barrier. That's it. But now they go around the barrier
So when you fill up the gaps, it's going to be a much different day
We are I would like to look at broader
I think we could do this quickly because this is common sense, and it's not expensive
We will save the cost of the wall every year but much more than that much more
But I would like to do a much broader
Form of immigration and we can do an immigration reform it will take longer
It's been complex. It's been going on for 3035 years
They've been talking about immigration reform, but we have to before we do that
We have to create a barrier that we can do very quickly
Something could be done we could do that bill we could help the dreamers. We won out the dreamers
I was ready to help the dreamers and then we got a decision that the folks
Representing the dreamers very strongly which is us
Also if you want to know the truth, but they said well, we don't have to do it anymore
So now it's before the Supreme Court go see what happens
and if the seat if the Supreme Court rules against the President Obama decision
Which he knew would not hold up if they we will have a deal with the judges we can do it early
but this has to be done soon so we get our
folks faith in our country
I
Don't expect when I say Mexican, excuse me, well they say
Mexico's gonna pay for the wall
I think you're gonna write a check for 20 billion or 10 million or 5 billion or 2 cents, you know
They're paying for the wall in a great trade deal. You had the worst trade deal anywhere in the world in NAFTA
We lost thousands of businesses millions of jobs millions of jobs
You go up to New England you go to Ohio you go to, Pennsylvania
you look at those factories that were wiped out and now we have a great trade deal and
it will take in and we will look billions and billions of dollars a year will be made now as
Opposed to NAFTA which was a disaster. You know that everybody knows that
Well, I think more impressive than anything on the agents themselves, I mean these people are incredible we have
When you need them, it's different you meet these people
And they're a great group of people
They happen to be very good-looking. I have to say that
Good-looking people. They're smart. They're tough. They've got the whole package and I want to tell you they are
Impressive and I've made a lot of I've been a we just left. We just left a big room
Load it up with Border Patrol and ice and law enforcement. These are incredible people
They're incredible people and you know, there's something different when I meet him here as opposed to
Seeing you at the White House
Do we have a yeah
And I guess there could be some pockets where they maybe disagree a little bit for cut very much yeah
About what
Well, I'm going to see how we do with going through dungeons don't forget national emergency is going through Congress
Is that already West Road uppers? That's what's old words if you read it. It is so clear it is so perfect
I'd rather not do it not for any particular reason other than this should be easy to get approved through Congress
Because the same people that are holding it up have approved it
These people approved it just a few years ago
And now all of a sudden they're not the reason they're not is because of me hate to say
Because they know they're going to lose in 2020. They'll do anything they can to
Not lose they want to win but then it's not gonna happen
We're I don't know what they have planned I would certainly do that, but I just
Underway from I would do it. I would stop there if we could you'd have to ask the Secret Service
But I would certainly - thank you. I would certainly stop I
Would mind it's not a bad idea
I think they are moving theirs
If you read one of your competitors today
They will tell you that the Democrats that are starting to say this is not an argument. They can win
Are some of the very young very smart
Democrats have just got elected to Congress and
I remember you. So on the same story that I did but they're saying this is not an argument. We're gonna win
This is a common-sense argument now
If for any reason we don't get this going and they're not going to act responsibly and they don't mind

because the American Dream and our American democracy are under attack and
on the line like never before and we are here at this moment in time because we
must answer a fundamental question who are we who are we as Americans let's
answer that question America we are better than this the Democratic Party is
looking for fresh faces and Kamala Harris who's been a US Senator for only
two years certainly fits that bill she grew up here in Oakland a diverse
industrial city known for its toughness high crime rates and political left-wing
activism now she is the first female black candidate having a viable shot at
the presidency but with dozens of Democrats lining up to run in 2020 the
crucial question will be whether the party thinks Kamala Harris has a chance
of beating Donald Trump her supporters definitely think she does
she understands people she understand the middle class she understand the
needs of our country and she has morals which we don't have right now with a
year and a half until the Democrats picked her presidential nominee Kamala
Harris still has a long way to go but her Oakland rally was beyond doubt a
good start

United States files criminal charges against Chinas Huawei - Duration: 2:45.
United States files criminal charges against Chinas Huawei
The Justice Department on Monday unveiled two sets of charges against Huawei. One set accuses Huawei of trying to steal trade secrets from T Mobile . Another claims the company worked to skirt US sanctions on Iran.
The agency also revealed formal charges against Meng Wanzhou, Huaweis chief financial officer. Meng was arrested in Canada in December, and the United States is looking to extradite her.
"Today we are announcing that we are bringing criminal charges against telecommunications giant Huawei and its associates for nearly two dozen alleged crimes," Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said in a statement. "China must hold its citizens and Chinese companies accountable for complying with the law."
FBI Director Christopher Wray said at a press conference that Huawei "relied on dishonest business practices that contradict the economic principles that have allowed American companies and the United States to thrive."
"The prosperity that drives our economic security is inherently linked to our national security," Wray said. "And the immense influence that the Chinese government holds over Chinese corporations like Huawei represents a threat to both."
A 10 count indictment, which was filed in Washington state, claims that Huawei worked for years to steal T Mobiles proprietary phone testing technology, known as "Tappy."
Huawei also obstructed justice when the Washington based telecom company threatened to sue it, according to court documents.
The government also unsealed a 13 count indictment against Huawei and Meng in Brooklyn federal court. That document details an alleged scheme by Huawei to deceive financial institutions and the US government about its business in Iran.
The company and Meng are said to have claimed that an affiliate, Skycom, was a separate company in order to conduct business in the country, when in fact it was a subsidiary.
The charges from the United States increase pressure on Huawei, one of Chinas tech champions and a crucial part of the countrys efforts to dominate the rollout of superfast 5G wireless networks.
The United States has said for years that Huawei devices pose a national security threat. But government efforts to rein in alleged abuses by the company have escalated in recent months.
Mengs arrest in December set off a geopolitical firestorm and has strained relations between the US, Canada and China. China has repeatedly called the detention of Meng, who was , a political move.
But the United States on Monday reiterated its intention to move forward with the extradition process. Meng is due back in court again in Canada on February 6.
Congress is also considering legislation that would ban the sale of US parts to any Chinese telecom firm that has violated US export control laws or sanctions, a measure that expressly targets Huawei.
"It has been clear for some time that Huawei poses a threat to our national security, and I applaud the Trump administration for taking steps to finally hold the company accountable," Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat, said in a statement Monday.
Importantly, the charges come as the United States and China are racing to cut a deal on trade before March 1, when US tariffs on dollar 200 billion in Chinese goods will otherwise rise to 25 percent from 10 percent . Vice Premier Liu He is scheduled to travel to the United States for two days of talks starting Wednesday.
Its not clear how Mondays announcement will factor into negotiations. President Donald Trump previously suggested that he may intervene in the Meng case if it would help reach a trade deal with China.

US NEWS | Trump Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz doesnt have the guts to run for president - Duration: 0:30.
US NEWS | Trump Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz doesnt have the guts to run for president
"I think, like most people, Ive become bored with President Trump and his tweets," Schultz said in the interview.
Responding to a question about his business experience, he said that he had "a long history of recognizing, Im not the smartest person in the room."
"In order to make great decisions about complex problems, I have to recruit and attract people who are smarter than me and more experienced, more skilled, and weve got to create an understanding that we need a creative debate in the room to make these kind of decisions," he said.
The presidents taunt comes as Democrats warn that Schultzs entrance into the race could be a boon for Trumps electoral chances by siphoning a greater share of Democratic votes than Republican ones.
Trump remains overwhelmingly popular among Republicans, according to polling data, and Schultz has proposed an agenda largely in line with moderate Democrats. He is at odds with many of the candidates currently in the race or expected to enter on issues like Medicare for all. Schultz has criticized Democratic proposals as unrealistic.
Some Democratic contenders have also weighed in on Schultzs potential run, urging him against running.
"Its obvious. If we nominate someone w/ extreme positions that dont reflect the majority of Americans, then people like Schultz will run b/c they see an opportunity in the center with moderates," wrote John Delaney, one Democratic contender and a former U.S. congressman for Maryland. "If that happens, Trump wins."
Julián Castro, another 2020 candidate and a former Housing and Urban Development secretary under President Barack Obama, told that a Schultz run "would provide Donald Trump with his best hope of getting re elected."
The Washington State Democratic Party has also been sharply critical of a Schultz run. Last week, the chair of the state party, Tina Podlodowski, sent a fundraising email to donors calling a Schultz run a "worst case scenario," according to a in The Atlantic.
"I want to spend our resources fighting for Democrats up and down the ballot, not fending off Howard Schultzs independent bid," she wrote.

US NEWS | President Ocasio Cortez? No chance Reagan nj.com - Duration: 0:43.
US NEWS | President Ocasio Cortez? No chance Reagan nj.com
By Michael Reagan
Heres a scary political thought for all Americans.
If Alexandria Ocasio Cortez were old enough, and American voters were stupid enough, she could be elected president next year.
AOC as the rookie House member from New York City has been nicknamed is only 28, which makes her constitutionally too young to join the mob of mostly leftwing Democrats competing to run against Donald Trump next year.
But according to a recent poll, 74 percent of Democrats said if given the chance theyd vote for Ocasio Cortez for president in 2020.
Our countrys celebrated young social warrior is never going to be elected president of the United States not even if she lives to be Hillary Clintons age and gets lots of free help from Stephen Colbert, the Russians or the FBI.
AOCs age and inexperience are not her biggest obstacles, though.
Its her really bad socialist ideas free health care for all, free college for all, confiscatory 70 percent tax rates for millionaires, etc. thatll keep her from the White House.
Her leftwing positions, which appeal to the historical and economic ignorance of her fellow millennials and the slobbering liberal media, are actually not much worse than those of most of the presidential wannabes in her party.
Shes just more enthusiastic, more youthful and more giggly and already knows how to tweet like a president.
For now and probably forever AOCs role is to be the cheerful mascot of the national Democratic Party, which, like her, has decided that the way to make the country great again is to exchange American capitalism for Venezuelan style socialism.
She and her socialist friends pose no real threat to Trump or Republicans or America.
American voters especially the older ones of both parties who remember when America was great are too smart and sensible.
Theyll never let her or one of her older socialist brothers or sisters get in the Oval Office. Ditto for Grandpa Bernie.
Ocasio Cortez and her generation are clueless about Americas greatness because they were taught a bunch of leftwing history in school.
They have no recollection of when America was great, how we got to be so great and prosperous or what made us the leader of the free world.
Theres only one big guy in Washington talking about America being great and keeping it great.
Its the president. And hes taken to task and abused every day, by almost everyone, for everything he says and does.
Meanwhile, as the Democrats in the House of Pelosi waste their days investigating President Trump and trying to block anything he wants to do, their national party is making a hard turn to the left.
Ocasio Cortez is the celebrity bus driver with no GPS. The liberal media treat her like a political genius, mainly because they are as dumb as she is about the benefits of things like capitalism and border walls.
But despite what she and her fellow socialists in the Democrat Party think, they are not going to lead the country to a better, greater place in 2020. Theyre just leading their party over a cliff.

Venezuela crisis splits superpowers after US asks the world to pick a side - Duration: 14:54.
Looking at a map of who supports who in the South American nation's political chaos, you'll see a divide which is disturbingly reminiscent of the bitter Cold War East-West global split which came close to destroying our planet through thermonuclear for decades
Despite the Berlin Wall being ripped down almost 30 years ago, the map shows Russia, China, Iran, Syria and Cuba on one side backing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, pitted against the United States, Canada, and the majority of South American nations on the other
Venezuela's status as a major oil producer — it has the world's largest underground oil reserves, but crude production continues to crash — means its political instability has deep implications globally
Yesterday, Australia joined the United States and others in recognising Juan Guaido as the interim president of Venezuela, as the country grapples with deadly protests and political unrest
A third group of "fence-sitters" can be found in Western Europe and India — but the UK, Spain, Germany, France and most other EU members (plus a few other countries, such as Ukraine, Norway and, further afield, in Japan) say they are taking a compromise position
This means that if Mr Maduro doesn't call fresh elections within eight days, they will recognise his rival as Venezuela's leader
So far, Mr Maduro has refused to hold an election. The remainder of the world's superpowers are calling for dialogue
It comes as Venezuela, which is suffering through hellish crime, corruption and starvation — has been dealt a potentially crucial hammer blow by Mr Trump
This morning the US government hit Venezuela's state-owned oil firm PDVSA with crippling sanctions and urged the country's military to give up power peacefully
Venezuela has been gripped by weeks of mass protests against Mr Maduro, who has overseen years of economic free fall in the natural resources-rich South American nation
Crushing currency controls and fixed food prices, compounded by a collapse in the price of oil, have led to widespread food and medical shortages that have forced millions of people to starve or flee
Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne now says Juan Guaido, the Opposition leader and President of the National Assembly, ought to lead the Latin American nation until fresh elections are held
"Australia calls for a transition to democracy in Venezuela as soon as possible," Senator Payne said on Monday
"We now urge all parties to work constructively towards a peaceful resolution of the situation, including a return to democracy, respect for the rule of law and upholding of human rights of the Venezuelan people
" Australia's announcement follows similar decisions in recent days by Britain, France, Germany and Spain
However, Anthea McCarthy-Jones, from the University of NSW, said so long as the Venezuelan armed forces supported the President it would be very difficult for change to happen
"But if they change their mind, I could see a power transition happening very quickly," Dr McCarthy-Jones told AAP
"If you look at Venezuelan history, it's when the armed forces decide to come in and out of their barracks that usually determines change in these situations
" Dr McCarthy-Jones is watching closely for signs of dissent or defections from the Venezuelan military
"You just need enough members of the Venezuelan armed forces to change their mind, and maybe withdraw support, and then I think we would see things falling like dominoes pretty quickly and Maduro swept from power," she said
"But until that happens, we're just going to see a lot of posturing and political rhetoric
" President Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued statements last week proclaiming US recognition of Mr Guaido, saying the US would take all diplomatic and economic measures necessary to support a transition to a new government
But Washington's adversaries are issuing warnings against US intervention. Russian officials have called the move a "coup" orchestrated by the US
The US and Russia already are at odds over Syria's civil war, and the Venezuelan crisis has the potential to add further strain
Russian-US ties have sunk to post-Cold War lows over Moscow's support of separatists in Ukraine and allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 US election
"We view the attempt to usurp power in Venezuela as something that contradicts and violates the foundations and principles of international law," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov
In a phone call with Mr Maduro, President Vladimir Putin expressed support, noting that "destructive foreign interference tramples on basic norms of the international law," and called for a peaceful dialogue, according to the Kremlin
And Russia has taken a special interest in Venezuela. Last month, Russia sent two Tu-160 nuclear-capable bombers to Venezuela for several days in what was seen as a precursor for a possible long-term military presence
Mr Pompeo criticised the move at the time as "two corrupt governments squandering public funds and squelching liberty and freedom while their people suffer
Peskov dismissed the comment as "undiplomatic" and "inappropriate," saying that half of the US military budget "would be enough to feed the whole of Africa"
China's Foreign Ministry also sternly urged against interference by Washington in Venezuela
Beijing's allies, including Iran and Syria, followed suit. China "opposes external intervention in Venezuela," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said
"We hope that Venezuela and the United States can respect and treat each other on an equal footing, and deal with their relations based on noninterference in each other's internal affairs
" In the last decade, China has given Venezuela $65 billion in loans, cash and investment
Venezuela owes it more than $20 billion. China's only hope of being repaid appears to lie in Venezuela ramping up oil production, although low oil prices and the country's crashing economy appear to bode poorly for such an outcome
The Russian state-controlled oil company Rosneft has invested heavily in Venezuela, and its chief executive, Igor Sechin, visited Caracas in November, pressuring the Maduro government to make good on its commitments to his company
Russia, a major oil producer itself, has been buying oil from the state-run Venezuelan company PDVSA, and Mr Sechin reportedly went to Caracas to raise concerns about Venezuela halting oil supplies
Russia is estimated to have poured in at least $17 billion in Venezuela in loans and investment since Mr Maduro's populist predecessor, Hugo Chavez, came to power in 1999
The Economic Development Ministry said Russia has invested around $4 billion in Venezuela, mostly in joint oil projects
Asked if Russia would be willing to grant asylum to Mr Maduro, the Kremlin spokesman Mr Peskov refused to speculate and insisted that Moscow views Mr Maduro as the only legitimate leader
Mr Maduro visited Moscow in early December, seeking political and economic assistance as Venezuela has faced sky-high inflation and food shortages
For Iran, its relationship with Venezuela hinges on their mutual enmity toward the US
Mr Chavez travelled to Iran in 2006 and received the country's Islamic Republic Medal, its highest award, from hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who called Mr Chavez a "brother and a trench mate"
Mr Chavez vowed Venezuela would "stay by Iran at any time and under any condition
" Both leaders faced criticism from then-US president George W. Bush and offered their own withering criticism of him
After Mr Maduro took power upon Mr Chavez's death in 2013, Iran has maintained its support of Venezuela
On Thursday, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi criticised the US and other countries over meddling in Venezuela
"The Islamic Republic of Iran supports the government and people of Venezuela against any foreign intervention in the internal affairs of Venezuela or any other illegitimate and illegal measure such as a coup d'etat," Mr Ghasemi said
Strong endorsement for the current Venezuelan government also came from Turkey, where President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent a message of support: "My brother Maduro! Stay strong, we are by your side
" Turkey also has cultivated close economic and political ties with Mr Maduro. During a visit to Venezuela in December, Mr Erdogan blamed US sanctions for the country's economic hardships
Presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said Turkey, under Mr Erdogan, would "maintain its principled stance against coup attempts
" Mr Erdogan himself faced a military coup attempt in 2016. Syria also came to the defence of Mr Maduro's government
Damascus reaffirmed its "full solidarity with the leadership and people of the Venezuelan Republic in preserving the country's sovereignty and foiling the American administration's hostile plans," the Syrian Foreign Ministry said
Cuba's Foreign Ministry said Havana "expresses its unwavering solidarity" with the Maduro government
Cuba has sent its closest ally tens of thousands of workers, from doctors to intelligence officials, and in return has received tens of thousands of barrels a day in heavily subsidised oil

US NEWS | Rubio disputes that the United States would participate in a coup in Venezuela The Washi - Duration: 2:42.
US NEWS | Rubio disputes that the United States would participate in a coup in Venezuela The Washi
Sen. Marco Rubio R Fla. disputed on Sunday that the United States would participate in a coup to oust Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, saying he doesnt know of any U.S. leaders who are calling for one.
The remarks came four days after the Trump administration recognized Venezuelan National Assembly leader Juan Guaidó as interim president after Guaidó and his supporters asserted that last years election that kept Maduro in power was illegitimate. Many other U.S. allies followed suit, including Canada.
But the history of U.S. military involvement in Latin America, along with reports that the who wanted to plot a coup before rebuffing them, has raised questions about whether the White House would direct a military intervention. President Trump has said that all options are on the table, while defense officials have sought to tamp down .
Rubio, speaking on CNNs State of the Union, said the United States is simply supporting the democratic institutions in Venezuela, along with many other countries in the Western Hemisphere.
This is not the U.S., he said. This is Honduras. This is Guatemala. This is Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, et cetera, et cetera. This is not a U.S. sponsored anything. This is the U.S. supporting the people of Venezuela, who want their constitution and democracy followed. Thats a fact.
Rubio also has said all U.S. options should be on the table, but he qualified that Sunday.
The United States always retains the right — always, anywhere in the world in any instance — to protect its national security, he said. So Im not going to justify military intervention because I dont know whos calling for that. What I said is that everything is an option because we always have an option to defend our national security in cases where it is threatened.
Although the Trump administrations decisions on Venezuela this week have received support from some Democrats, others have called for Washington to take a more limited role.
The United States needs to stay out of Venezuela, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard D Hawaii said in a tweet Thursday. Let the Venezuelan people determine their future. We dont want other countries to choose our leaders — so we have to stop trying to choose theirs. Gabbard announced this month that she will run for president in 2020.
Rep. Ilhan Omar D Minn. said in tweets Friday that the United States should support the efforts of Mexico, Uruguay and the Vatican to facilitate peaceful dialogue in Venezuela and that a U.S. backed coup in Venezuela is not a solution to the dire issues they face.
We cannot hand pick leaders for other countries on behalf of multinational corporate interests, she said in one tweet. The legislature cannot seize power from the President, and Venezuelas Supreme Court has declared their actions unconstitutional.
Rubio, in a separate interview on NBCs Meet the Press on Sunday, said Trump has never needed any convincing on Venezuela and has raised the issue for discussion with the senator more than the other way around.
The preferred outcome, Rubio said, is that Maduro leaves office and that, within 30 to 45 days, Venezuela holds a presidential election.
On Saturday, that all U.S. diplomats leave his country, as Venezuelan and U.S. officials reached an agreement that gives them 30 days to finalize details on new interest offices that would have a more limited role. If no deal is reached by then, diplomats from both countries would have to go home.
