VANCOUVER—Canada will not be sending hundreds of peacekeepers to support a United Nations mission in Mali in the near future, officials said on Wednesday, Nov. 15, a move likely to disappoint allies who want Canadians to play a role in the West African country.
Last year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to contribute up to 600 troops to peacekeeping operations and Canadian defense experts paid three trips to Mali, where soldiers under the U.N. are fighting Islamic terrorist.
