US charges Chinese tech giant Huawei, top executive and two subsidiaries

The company is also charged in a separate case with stealing trade secrets from T-Mobile, according to federal prosecutors.

Prosecutors are seeking to extradite the company's chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, and allege she committed fraud by misleading banks about Huawei's business dealings in Iran. She was arrested on December 1 in Canada.

The criminal charges in Brooklyn and Seattle come as trade talks between China and the US are scheduled for this week.
