Also a congratulations on your invite to Korea. So looking forward to what you can talk about when you get back…. They simply make a lot of things we need….would love to hear more about the kf21 & TA/FA 50 & the SAM systems.
In case you’ve been busy:https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-canada-us-joint-defence-board-9.7203211. Pressure to put on the F-35 question? The GoC obviously holding on to the decision since the PM keeps referring to discussions around CUSMA to be about trade and security. But then again the increase to 2% GDP was largely moving the CCG under DND and the big pay raise. Important but nothing to show for capability increase. Pressure, pressure. The American way.
I would like to know what your hosts think of Shankar Narayan's post and feelings about South Korea. This is obviously a big ask and would be sensitive to your hosts and might seem contrary to your mission. The issue is out there and for them to not acknowledge it or be able to comment on it with care also would tell Canada something about the Korean story. I can't tell if this is a paid story or not, so let me know and I will get it to you.
