Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says the United States and President Donald Trump have recently pivoted in their assessment of the war in Ukraine. Speaking at the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, Carney says the new U.S. stance aligns more closely with what other G7 leaders had considered a more realistic position on the conflict. Carney adds that he has held seven or eight discussions with Trump over the past 36 hours, covering a range of topics beyond Ukraine. He also references discussions about Canada’s policy on Chinese electric vehicle imports, describing an element of the framework that Trump appears to have favored. The statements come amid ongoing international coordination among G7 members regarding Ukraine and wider economic and trade issues. Carney does not provide specific details of what changes were made to the U.S. position or how it differs from prior statements, but he frames the development as a shift in viewpoint rather than a concrete new policy announcement.
