Obama, Canada’s Trudeau discuss fight against Islamic State: White House

Canada has committed $650 million in humanitarian aid for people affected by the Syrian civil war and $233 million for longer-term development.

In doing so, however, Mr Trudeau is going against public opinion.

Trudeau was asked to explain why RCAF assets would be used to refuel other coalition partners’ aircraft, which would then continue the bombing mission.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will end its bombing mission against the Islamic State by February 22nd.

Ambrose said that Trudeau “never gave a good reason” for pulling the fighter jets and letting Canada’s allies “do the heavy lifting”.

“On political grounds, it was by all accounts a smart decision”, Juneau said of the campaign promise to withdraw from airstrikes. We won’t be bombing ISIL any more because that’s what the terrorists “want”, but we will supply their enemies with weapons, training and equipment to bomb them in our stead.

On Monday, U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby said Canada’s “additional significant contributions” were a welcome addition to the anti-ISIL coalition.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called a news conference in Ottawa with Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan and International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau.

Trudeau discussed the changes with President Barack Obama.

The end of the airstrikes was promised by Trudeau’s Liberal Party during the lead up to last fall’s Canadian election, which saw the Liberals sweep to power.

That, in order to provide more assistance in the training and planning of Iraqi security forces.

“The people terrorized by ISIS every day don’t need our vengeance, they need our help”, said Trudeau.

Conservative Interim Leader Rona Ambrose issued a statement Monday afternoon calling the new Liberal plan “a step backward” for Canada.

“We can’t do everything … we were guided by our desire to do what we could do best to help in the region and to do it in the right way”, Trudeau told a news conference.

“We know Canada is stronger – much stronger – than the threat posed by a murderous gang of thugs”, he said.

“I suspect there will be engagement”, Vance said.

We must cut off Daesh’s funding if we hope to defeat them.

Gen. Vance added: “We will be in a region that’s contested and will suffer, potentially, the challenges that such a region offers”. “We are not the principal combatants, we’re supporting those who are; we will be in proximity to the danger they are in proximity; we will be in a region that is contested and we will potentially suffer the challenges that such a region offers”. Vance confirmed that the Canadian Forces will supply an unspecified number of rifles, machine guns and mortars. It is expanding peacekeeping efforts by allocating $840 million in humanitarian aid over the next three years, while also reducing the hopes of peace by contributing a steady supply of weapons, ammunition, surveillance and refuelling aircraft and triple the number of Canadian Forces members training troops to fight more effectively.
