Ottawa: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a meeting with state chief ministers, cautioned them that the results of austerity must come before any decision by the US President in two months. Earlier, Canada had defended itself by saying that illegal crossings into the United States were only on the Mexican side, but the announcement at the meeting of prime ministers on Wednesday, a week after the events of the past few years, came as a surprise, but it was considered a good decision.
