FBI Temporarily Halted Cooperation with Canada
The brief pause canceled meetings and risked disrupting terrorism and cybersecurity work between the two agencies, officials said.
- FBI Director Kash Patel temporarily halted some cooperation with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police this month after objecting to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation guidelines on referring to the September 11 attacks.
- The dispute began after CBC reminded journalists of a longstanding policy requiring experts to attribute the term "terrorism" to 9/11, prompting Patel to call the policy a "bastardization of history" in late August posts.
- CBC News updated its guidance on Aug. 28, allowing journalists to use "terrorism" without attribution; Canadian Culture Minister Marc Miller called the original policy a "welcome change to what was a piece of pedantic and foolish guidance."
- While the FBI canceled meetings with Canadian counterparts, other U.S. agencies continued working with Canada normally. The RCMP stated, "We value our relationship with our U.S. counterparts, as we work closely to respond to threats to national security."
- New York University law professor Ryan Goodman labeled Patel "unfit" for jeopardizing the FBI's relationship with Canada's national police, while the pause reportedly ended around the 25th anniversary of the attacks.
