Do you foresee extradition requests for EU executives doing business with Iran?

I don't foresee extraditions merely for 'doing business with Iran' because that's not what she was extradited for.
The EU and China have been trading billions with Iran for quite a long time [1]
Meng was picked up for a business relating to shipping US tech to Iran via Hong Kong.

The crime is not trading with Iran, the crime is defrauding the US financial system in order to do it. For some reason, this is framed as though Huawei is accused of trading with Iran completely independently of the United States. That's not the case at all.

Is that not exactly what I said in response to a comment claiming she was selling US tech to Iran?

Okay, hold up. "grated it was very low tech"; where did you learn about this (or is this an opinionated downplay)?

The tech she exported was HP gear - I'm not aware of anything specifically that HP make that is particularly high tech.
Justice? Transparency? Rule of law? Freedom of conscience and expression?
'Doing business with Iran' is not what she was arrested for - she was arrested for proving tech made in the USA to Iran, which is definitely a different thing. Grated it was very low tech.
