President Donald Trump has signaled he would support the arrest of California Gov. Gavin Newsom over his handling of immigration protests in Los Angeles that flared over the weekend.
"Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing. He's done a terrible job," Trump told reporters after his border czar, Tom Homan, warned that public officials would be arrested if they obstructed federal immigration enforcement.
Homan later clarified that there was "no discussion" about actually arresting Newsom, but reiterated that "no one's above the law."
Asked if the focus on Newsom would help the Democratic governor's political career, Trump, who is Republican, said, "I think it's actually very bad for him."
Here's the latest:
Mark Carney made the remarks in announcing Canada will diversify defense spending away from the U.S.
Carney also says Canada will achieve NATO's spending target of 2% of gross domestic product five years earlier than previously planned.
"We stood shoulder to shoulder with the Americans throughout the Cold War and in the decades that followed, as the United States played a predominant role on the world stage. Today, that predominance is a thing of the past," Carney said in a speech at the University of Toronto.
Trump's calls to make Canada the 51st U.S. state infuriated Canadians. Carney became prime minister after promising to confront the aggression shown by Trump.
