The Trump administration has dropped its idea of sending U.S. military forces to the Canadian border
ICYMI, here is news of the the hare-brained scheme from earlier:
Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Canada was told of the U.S. proposal a few days ago, said:
- "We are very directly and very forcefully expressing the view that this is an entirely unnecessary step which we would view as damaging to our relationship"
- "We do not believe at all there would be a public-health justification to take this action. We don't think this is the right way to treat a trusted friend and military ally."
A US official now:
- "This was under consideration, but it is no longer going to take place"
