Canada will send more military trainers to Iraq to drill local troops combatting the "Islamic State" (ISIS) terrorist group, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday, while remaining committed to pulling out its fighter jets.
In line with a campaign pledge, the newly-elected Trudeau has vowed to bring home Canadian warplanes deployed in Iraq and Syria, without setting a specific time frame.
"We will continue to do more than our share, including a military engagement, but especially in training rather than air strikes," he told Canadian media travelling with him to an Asia-Pacific summit in Manila, AFP reports.
