U.S. secretary of state to meet with Canada’s cabinet, talk Korea crisis
WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will meet Canadian cabinet members during a visit to Ottawa next week where he will discuss a variety of international issues including the North Korea nuclear crisis.
Tillerson’s schedule includes a session with the ministerial committee on Canada-U.S. relations, in addition to meeting with his Canadian counterpart, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, during his visit Tuesday.
The two are co-hosting an international conference in the new year on the North Korea standoff.
Tillerson has been seeking non-military solutions to the impasse, while other members of the administration, including President Donald Trump, have expressed skepticism about whether diplomacy can work.
