Although late in the game, the Trudeau government’s loss of innocence towards China and recognition of Japan, South Korea, and India as important partners are welcome.
Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly, right, and United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken hold a joint press conference in Ottawa on Oct. 27.
