Rice Cancels Planned Canada Trip Because of Missile Defense Rejection, U.S. Official Says

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has canceled a planned trip to Canada because the Bush administration is angry over Ottawa’s decision to not participate in missile defense, a Bush administration official said yesterday (see GSN, Feb. 28).

Rice had been scheduled to travel to Canada next month. The visit has not been rescheduled, the Associated Press reported (Associated Press/USA Today, March 1).
