Trudeau, Trump talk border security

-

White House spokespers­on Sean Spicer laughed off the idea of building a wall along the northern U.S. border Thursday after a journalist from Montana floated the notion during his daily media briefing. Spicer and journalist­s chuckled when the NBC News reporter, taking part via video link, asked whether there were plans to apply to Canada the same treatment U.S. President Donald Trump has directed at Mexico.

The question came after a phone call Thursday between Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, where the border was one topic. It was the fourth conversati­on between the two since Trump’s election, and the third by phone.
