Did you believe Trump would have denounced the Prince? Would Bama denounced him? Why isn't he denouncing him now? He did the right thing and took the repercussions out of his hands and placed into the hands of congress.

— Government ministries issuing orders to ban food and medication from Canada.
— Various shipments from Canada being completely stopped at Saudi ports.
The note was created last September for Carr in preparation for his meeting with members of the Canada Arab Business Council, who have interests in the kingdom.
The additional details of the dispute with Saudi Arabia emerge as Canada tries to manage other, bigger trade-related challenges with its two largest partners, the United States and China.
