To review:
1) Canada arrests a Chinese executive at the request of U.S. authorities.
2) China retaliates by condemning a Canadian to death, on the pretext of fighting drugs, in what human rights advocates call hostage politics.
3) Trump praises China for executing drug dealers.

If the death penalty for drug offenses weren't hideous and draconian enough, Trump manages to compound that with validating the politically motivated execution of a Canadian citizen who is in that situation because our ally and neighbor Canada did us a favor.
