During their meeting in Washington, D.C., US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney discussed Russia's war against Ukraine.

CBC News reports, citing sources.

While the Canadian delegation was focused on trade issues and disputes over Canada's status in relations with the United States, Donald Trump sought to raise global security issues. These included the situation in Ukraine, the confrontation with China and Iran's nuclear ambitions.

According to the source, Donald Trump wanted to know Carney's position on these complex issues, particularly in the context of his own election promises to end the war in Ukraine and contain Iran.

In addition, Donald Trump was interested in Mark Carney's views on the situation in Israel, Gaza and Yemen, although these issues received less attention at the meeting.

The CBC notes that the very fact of such a request from Donald Trump is considered evidence of respect for the new Canadian leader and recognition of his position.

As a reminder, US Vice President J.D. Vance recently said that the Russian side was making excessive demands when discussing the possible end of the war in Ukraine. According to him, Russia is not abandoning the idea of a peace agreement, but its position remains too tough.
