Canada came on back foot
This statement by Canadian PM Justin Trudeau comes after a report by London’s Financial Times which claimed that India wants to send back 41 of the remaining 62 Canadian diplomats. In this context, the newspaper quoted Trudeau as saying that obviously we are going through a very challenging time with India at this time. However, he did not confirm the Financial Times report. At the same time, when asked whether his government would retaliate by asking India to remove diplomats posted in Canada, Trudeau said that his government would try to continue working with New Delhi.
