Canada’s Sajjan: it is absurd that Canada is labeled as a national security risk on trade

Canadian Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan comments on the Trump administration’s national security argument and said that Canada will stay a reliable security partner for US.

Key quotes:

   “¢   US-Canada defense ties are strong and will remain so.
   “¢   It is absurd that Canada is labeled as a national security risk on trade.

This comes after the US on Thursday refused to extend the temporary exemption to tariffs on imported steel and aluminum for the EU, Canada and Mexico, citing national security interests.
