The RCMP says it hasn’t used new funding to purchase U.S.-banned Chinese drones for border monitoring, after a report by Canada’s public broadcaster said the force rushed to acquire the equipment ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration as president.
“We have communicated to Radio-Canada that their story is inaccurate. The RCMP has not purchased any unsecured drones, such as those referenced in the Radio-Canada article, as part of any new funding,” an RCMP spokesperson told The Epoch Times on Jan. 20, referring to the CBC’s French-language unit.
