Global Affairs has reiterated Canada’s opposition to the use of cluster bombs following the decision by U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration on July 7 to send the munitions, which can explode indiscriminately, as part of a new multi-million dollar aid package to Ukraine.
“We do not support the use of cluster munitions and are committed to putting an end to the effects cluster munitions have on civilians - particularly children,” Global Affairs Canada spokesperson John Babcock told The Epoch Times by email on July 8.
