U.S. “Coordinating Very Closely” with Canada After Attacks

HeadlineOct 24, 2014

On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the Obama administration is working closely with Canada in the wake of the attacks.

Josh Earnest: “President Obama yesterday offered Canada any assistance that’s necessary in responding to these attacks, and our respective national security teams are coordinating very closely, including again today. As the president said yesterday, when it comes to dealing with terrorist activity, it is clear that Canada and the United States have to be entirely in sync. We have been in the past, and we will continue to be in the future.”

The shooting in Canada came one day after six Canadian fighter jets departed to join the U.S.-led war against the Islamic State in Iraq.
