US President Joe Biden pledged his unwavering friendship to the neighboring country in a speech to the Canadian Parliament. “Today I am saying to you and all the people of Canada that you can always, always count on the United States of America,” Biden said today.
There is no “more reliable ally” or “longer friend” than Canada. “Americans love Canadians, and that is no exaggeration,” Biden said. The two states would also share a heart because of the same values they share.
Trudeau also praises relationships
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also praised the deep connection in the face of numerous challenges, such as the climate crisis, the consequences of the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and still high inflation: “Our two nations are united at this time and are finding side-by-side solutions.“These are “serious times” when mutual friendship is more important than ever.”Mr. President, you are a true friend of Canada,” Trudeau told Biden.
Biden and his wife Jill arrived in Canada the day before and met the Trudeaus for dinner afterwards. According to media reports, Biden and Trudeau agreed to an asylum agreement that aims to close an illegal border crossing between the two countries.
Migration agreement
Canada has agreed to take in more immigrants, Biden said in his speech before Parliament. “At the same time, the United States and Canada will work together to prevent illegal border crossings.” An agreement between the two neighbors will be updated for this.
In the face of a sharp increase in illegal border crossings, the Canadian government has long been pushing for a deal in Washington so that more migrants who entered the country illegally could be turned away. Nearly 40,000 came to Canada last year, more than double the number in 2019, the year before the pandemic hit.
