Justin Trudeau kept his cards close to the vest on Saturday, June 29, 2019, as he wrapped up this weekend's high-stakes G20 meetings in Japan, acknowledging Canada's protracted impasse with China but offering few details about the ongoing effort to liberate the two Canadians caught in the crossfire.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will lean on the power and influence of the mercurial Donald Trump to raise the issue of two detained Canadians during a bilateral meeting with the Chinese president at a G20 summit in Japan this week — something the U.S. president publicly committed to doing at "Justin's request."

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has arrived in Osaka, Japan for the G20 leaders' summit, where he will look to raise the issue of two Canadians held in China at "every opportunity."

U.S. President Donald Trump says he will raise the issue of two Canadians being detained in China when he meets with the Chinese president next week, if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants him to.
