Thank you for the question.
The Americans, and all NATO allies, have discussed, in multiple venues, the issue of the ban treaty negotiations, with a view to collaborating, by sharing information and positions. It is a fact that we have had those discussions in New York and Brussels. In that context, there has been no direct request of Canada, but I would say there is a very shared understanding on our part that this is not in our interests at this time and will not lead to progress on the disarmament side of things.
Thank you.
