Sunday’s summit was announced earlier in the week to involve European leaders, but it takes on a new focus with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attending, shortly after an explosive meeting on Friday with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.

Canada was not mentioned as one of the countries invited to join the Sunday meeting when British Prime Minister Keir Starmer discussed the event during his trip to Washington to meet with Trump earlier this week.

Steve Hewitt, an intelligence researcher who teaches Canadian studies at the University of Birmingham in England, said the fact that Trudeau is going to the summit sends a message on whom Ottawa sees as its partners.

    As he should. The world order is being reshaped and Canada needs to carve out its place in it lest we be forgotten.

    EU membership for both Ukraine and Canada is looking more and more like a necessity.

      Joint nuclear test for Ukraine and Canada… then let ambiguity happen. Both nations already have competent people and the test is only for the foreign public.

    White House clown show is not an isolated incident it a culmination of a 7 weeks of Trump presidency. He started with Denmark, Canada, Mexico, Panama, i am sure others then Ukraine as cherry for MAX results.

    US gutting NATO from within while not actually saying that’s what US is doing. Actions speak louder than words.
