The premier of Newfoundland and Labrador says he's furious with U.S. President Donald Trump for suggesting the country could ban exports of medical supplies to Canada.
Dwight Ball told a news conference today that the province gained international acclaim for the way its residents helped thousands of stranded airline passengers after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001.
Ball says that when the United States was in crisis, Newfoundlanders and Labradorians ``acted fast and did what was necessary.''
The premier said even though he was ``infuriated'' with Trump's actions, he insisted that the people of the province wouldn't hesitate to repeat what they did during 9/11.
