The U.S. wants to extradite Meng, the Huawei chief financial officer detained in B.C. Bolton writes in the book that the administration was tipped off about the possibility of an arrest the day before it happened. He writes in the book that Trump even offered to reverse the Huawei prosecution last year. Elsewhere in his book, Bolton depicts Trump telling Recep Tayyip Erdogan he would "take care of things" with respect to an ongoing U.S. probe of Turkey's Halkbank. Bolton left the White House on Sept. 10, 2019.
