Following their meeting on the events in the Soviet Union, Canadian Prime Minister Mulroney and U.S. President Bush held a news conference to discuss their respective countries' foreign policy toward the Soviet Union following the failed coup of the Soviet government. Canadian Prime Minister Mulroney announced the Canadian government had begun the process of granting formal recognition of the Baltic states of Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia.
