Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau prioritized Ukraine over U.S. tariff concerns during a call with Donald Trump. Trudeau committed $5 billion in aid to Ukraine, sourced from Russian assets, while Trump had threatened 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, citing immigration and fentanyl issues. Trump delayed the tariffs to allow Canada and Mexico to address these concerns. Trudeau's handling of the tariffs led to Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland's resignation and his own announcement to step down, using prorogation to paralyze Parliament. During the call, Ukraine was the main focus, with Trudeau emphasizing a just peace and avoiding appeasement of Putin. Trump remained dissatisfied with Canada's efforts, and the tariff uncertainty has impacted Canadian businesses.
