NEW YORK—Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou has reached a deferred prosecution agreement with the United States that would allow her to return to China nearly three years after her arrest and detention in Canada, a U.S. prosecutor said before a Brooklyn district court on Sept. 24.

Under the agreement, the government would put the prosecution on hold until December 2022 and drop the case altogether if the defendant complies with specified conditions in the agreement, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney David Kessler.
