Pearson warns US Vietnam war hard to de escalate in election year
Lester Bowles Pearson, 14th Canadian prime minister and Nobel Peace laureate, says de escalation is unlikely in the United States during the election year. In an exclusive UPI interview in Ottawa, he cites Tet shocks, domestic dissent, and the need for clarity after Johnson's San Antonio speech. He expects more upheavals for Canada amid shifting world power dynamics and cautions against a mediation role for himself.
