OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADA – Canada will announce whether it plans to join a U.S. diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said. A boycott would be a significant step for Ottawa, which already has poor relations with China. Canada, one of the world’s leading winter sporting nation, came third in the medal rankings at the 2018 Games in South Korea.
