Roger Clinton joined the president the day of CNN's report for golf at a course near Camp David, Maryland. Reporters asked the president about Roger Clinton's plans to travel to North Korea for the concert, but the president did not respond. Earlier that day, a White House spokesman said he was not aware of any contact between the White House and Roger Clinton about the trip. He added that the visit should be viewed as that of a private citizen trying to promote a cultural exchange. When asked if a visit to North Korea by a person with close ties to the president would pose a problem for the White House, the official said he had no comment.
Canadian government wants to send troops in to Winnipeg Thanks, but no tanks.
The city has refused Ottawa's offer to send in military troops armed with fire extinguishers and water bombers to fight the arson chaos. Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy's offer of the Canadian Army was met with laughter at the Public Safety Building. It's a joke, right. We prefer not to have the army here. We don't need armoured personnel carriers rumbling down the streets of Winnipeg.
