Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair said that while President Trump’s 51st state threats are “offensive,” he does not believe his country is “sincerely threatened,” Politico reports.
Said Blair: “I’m not as shaken as some of you all appear to be, and it’s because I’ve worked with the United States through a number of different administrations over decades. I have a lot of confidence in the institutions of America.”
