Canada offers UN helicopters, planes, trainers; no decision on where
The Trudeau government is formally offering helicopters, transport aircraft, and a 200-strong rapid-response team of soldiers for U.N. peacekeeping—though it will be months before Canadians know when and where they will go.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled the planned contributions at a high-level summit in Vancouver on Nov. 15, including millions of dollars to increase the role of women in peacekeeping.
