On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump held a phone conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, during which they discussed several issues, including the war in Ukraine and U.S. border security.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by Fox News, citing a White House statement.
The call began with a discussion of the 4 Nations Face-Off hockey tournament, which Canada won, the statement noted.
“The discussion turned to Monday’s G7 call that will mark the third anniversary of the invasion and war in Ukraine. Prime Minister Trudeau echoed President Trump’s desire to see an end to the war and acknowledged that President Trump is the only world leader who can push through a just and lasting peace,” the White House statement said.
Trump also stated that the war in Ukraine should never have started and would not have happened had he been president at the time.
Additionally, the leaders discussed U.S. border security. During the conversation, Trudeau stated that Canada had achieved a 90% reduction in fentanyl crossing into the U.S. from Canada. He added that the head of Canada’s border service would visit Washington next week to meet with his American counterpart, Tom Homan.
As Ukrinform previously reported, on Thursday, Prime Minister Trudeau reaffirmed that Canada will continue to firmly support Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression.
