Feds say Canada’s air defence donation to Ukraine has final hurdle to clear from U.S.
The Department of National Defence says Canada’s donation of an air-defence system to Ukraine is in the midst of clearing one final administrative hurdle with the U.S. government.
A spokesperson says Ukraine and the U.S. are finalizing a letter of acceptance that will confirm delivery timelines for a surface-to-air missile system Canada pledged to pay for more than a year ago.
… It took more than a week to get the response from the Defence Department, which sought information from the U.S. government.
The department spokesperson also says Defence Minister Bill Blair met with U.S. ambassador David Cohen Thursday to ask for an expedited timeline.
Seriously? You spend 500 million and don’t check up on delivery? I watch a pack of socks from Amazon closer.
