During the G7 summit in France, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that the United States and President Trump have adopted a more pragmatic perspective on the war in Ukraine. This shift in viewpoint was perceived by other G7 leaders as a move towards a more realistic assessment of the conflict. Carney revealed he engaged in multiple discussions with Trump over the past 36 hours, covering various topics. These discussions included Canada’s new restrictions on Chinese electric vehicles, a policy Trump reportedly favored. The change in the US position wasn’t detailed, but Carney indicated it was a welcome development among allies. The summit provided a platform for these bilateral conversations and a potential recalibration of approaches to the ongoing war. This suggests a possible alignment, or at least a lessening of divergence, in strategies regarding Ukraine.
