Description

One of Donald Trump's former aides turned harshest critics is taking a rare stance in agreeing with the U.S. President's order to test American nuclear weapons. In John Bolton's view, testing is all about safety. "It's like having 5000 cars in a parking lot," Bolton said, "they better not ignite before you're ready to turn them on." As the prime minister returns from Asia, pushing for more trade in the region, what comes next? Jean Charest, head of the Canada-ASEAN Business Council who's also helping Ottawa with U.S. trade advice, says to expect Mark Carney to visit many more countries in an effort to widen Canada's trade partners even further.
