Canada’s Carney Says Trump Has Shifted to More Realistic Stance on Ukraine War

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday that the United States and President Donald Trump have shifted their perspective on the war in Ukraine, adopting what fellow G7 leaders considered a more grounded and realistic outlook on the ongoing conflict.

Carney spoke at the G7 summit taking place in Evian-les-Bains, France, where he revealed that he had engaged in seven or eight separate conversations with President Trump over the previous 36 hours. Those discussions covered a broad range of topics, including Canada’s policy capping Chinese electric vehicles — a structure that Trump reportedly found appealing.

On other matters, Carney noted that Canada is on pace to produce 150 megatons of liquefied natural gas before the year is out. He also expressed his intention to finalize a trade agreement between Canada and India ahead of the G20 summit scheduled for November.
