Canada supports a move by several other countries to have a safe zone established at Kabul airport: Justin Trudeau
BY , Aug 30, 2021 9:05 PM - REPORT AN ERRORJustin Trudeau says Canada supports a move by several other countries to have a safe zone established at Kabul international airport in Afghanistan.
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is defending Canada's efforts to get Canadians and vulnerable Afghan citizens who helped Canada's mission in Afghanistan out of that country.
At an election campaign stop in Quebec this morning, Trudeau was asked why Ukrainian soldiers were able to rescue Canadians from Kabul.
Former Afghan translators who worked for the Globe and Mail have described how Ukrainian soldiers found them and escorted them into the Kabul airport, where they were able to board an aircraft to safety.
The zone would be set up after US troops complete their drawdown and withdrawal tomorrow.
French President Emmanuel Macron has said France, Germany and the United Kingdom are working on a United Nations proposal aimed at establishing a safe zone in Kabul.
