During a meeting in Washington, President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney discussed critical issues concerning the war in Ukraine.

According to sources cited by CBC News, while Carney and his delegation were primarily focused on domestic matters, such as Trump's proposed tariffs, the president showed interest in global challenges. Specifically, he raised the topic of Russia's war in Ukraine, relations with China, and the situation in Iran.

Reports indicate that Trump was eager to hear Carney's perspective on these issues, as he seeks to fulfill his campaign promise of swiftly ending the conflict in Ukraine and managing Iran's nuclear ambitions, both of which present significant challenges for his administration.

Additionally, the conversation touched upon Israel and Gaza, as well as the Houthis in Yemen, albeit these topics received less attention.

Quote from CBC News: "Trump's interest in Carney's opinion on these matters is seen as an "encouraging sign," indicating that the president respects the new Canadian leader and considers him a worthy partner."
