Toronto, April 12 (CNA) The Canadian government said Monday there was no truth to a news report that it was planning to withhold funding from a United States-based non-profit organization, which reportedly has proposed giving an award to Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文).
The Halifax International Security Forum (HFX), which holds its signature forum in the Canadian city of Halifax each year, is planning to present its 2020 John McCain Prize for Leadership in Public Service to Tsai, according to the American publication Politico.
