U.S. President Donald Trump says he will raise the case of two Canadians currently detained in China with Communist Party Xi Jinping at the G20 summit next week.

Trump offered his support in a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the Oval Office on Thursday, a week before he and Xi are set to meet at the G20 in Japan, where Trump has a trade meeting scheduled with the Chinese leader. Trudeau has been unable to schedule a meeting with Xi himself.
