( Adrian Wyld / THE CANADIAN PRESS )OTTAWA—Romania’s visiting prime minister says Justin Trudeau has offered political support for his country’s proposal to host a NATO brigade that would help deter Russian aggression along Europe’s southeastern border. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with Romanian Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Wednesday. Ciolos is hoping for Canadian support in a multi-national NATO brigade. It also has sent 200 Canadian Forces personnel to Poland to participate in the NATO reassurance mission for Eastern Europe. Ciolos said the military build-up is a necessary deterrent to Russian moves in the region, but he said it is not intended to be provocative.
