Initially, Trudeau’s trip to the area was aimed at celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Yukon Council of First Nations
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is traveling this evening to Yukon, in northwestern Canada, where authorities are working to collect the debris of an unidentified object that was shot down yesterday during a joint operation between Washington and Ottawa.
During his trip, which was coincidentally scheduled for later, Trudeau will meet with aboriginal leaders “who may have been affected by the descent of the object,” and on Monday, that province’s premier, Rani Pillai, said today in Canadian media.
“The safety of citizens is our top priority and for that reason I have taken the decision that this unidentified object must be shot down,” he said, adding that the object had endangered civilian aircraft.
The destruction of this flying object, which was shot down by a US F-22 fighter jet on the joint decision of Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden, occurred less than 24 hours after another object was shot down over Alaska and a week after in the open air of South Carolina of a Chinese balloon which Washington accuses of being a spy.
The decision to neutralize the object flying over the Yukon was made for “precautionary reasons and at the recommendation of the armed forces,” the US government said.
Originally, Trudeau’s trip to the area was aimed at celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Yukon Council of First Nations.
