The President spoke by phone today with
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada to discuss Canadian contributions to
the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL. The leaders noted recent gains on
the ground against ISIL in Iraq and Syria and agreed that recent ISIL attacks
outside of the Middle East have only heightened the need to keep pressure on
ISIL in order to degrade and ultimately destroy it. The President
welcomed Canada’s current and new contributions to Coalition efforts and
highlighted Canada’s leadership in the Coalition. President Obama and
Prime Minister Trudeau both reaffirmed the importance of all aspects of the
bilateral relationship.
