As the U.S. President escalates his claims of America being at "war" both on home soil and in international waters, what does this mean legally?
The West Block’s Ben Mulroney speaks with Prof. Geoffrey Corn, former Judge Advocate General officer and U.S. Army’s senior adviser for law-of-war issues.
"Once you cross that threshold into armed conflict, you trigger extraordinary government powers for the military, " Corn tells The West Block, speaking about the president’s war on drug cartels.
Corn also spoke about Trump’s efforts to send federal troops to American cities, saying Trump views the military as “politically beneficial” and is “taking action against all of these threats – even though many of them may be exaggerated or even fabricated."
