Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the final leaders香蕉视频直播 statement from the G20 summit in Brazil is not strong enough on the war in Ukraine.

He is also expressing some concern about the impact U.S. president-elect Donald Trump香蕉视频直播檚 return to the White House will have on global support for Ukraine.

Russia is a member of the G20 but President Vladimir Putin has not attended a leaders香蕉视频直播 summit since before Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

That year the G20 leaders香蕉视频直播 final statement condemned Russia香蕉视频直播檚 actions and demanded it withdraw from Ukraine.

A year later the leaders香蕉视频直播 summit ended with watered-down language about the war, and the final statement from Brazil today was even shorter and did not mention Russia at all.

Trudeau says Canada and other G7 nations and 香蕉视频直播渁dvanced economies香蕉视频直播 wanted a much stronger statement against the 香蕉视频直播渋llegal invasion of Ukraine香蕉视频直播 but the G20 has broader perspectives.

香蕉视频直播淣o it香蕉视频直播檚 not strong enough for me,香蕉视频直播 he said.

Trump and his allies have criticized America香蕉视频直播檚 financial support Ukraine and there are concerns the Republicans, who will soon have full control of the White House and Congress, will drastically scale back American backing for Ukraine.

Some of Trump香蕉视频直播檚 allies heavily criticized outgoing President Joe Biden after he authorized this week Ukraine the use of long-range U.S. missiles to attack inside Russia.

Trump香蕉视频直播檚 son Donald Trump Jr. and Utah Sen. Mike Lee were among those who accused Biden of trying to start 香蕉视频直播渨orld war three.香蕉视频直播

Trudeau and Biden discussed Ukraine in a 30-minute bilateral meeting in Brazil on Monday and Trudeau said Tuesday that Canada stands behind Biden香蕉视频直播檚 decision.

香蕉视频直播淚 have for months now talked about how important it is to degrade the capacity of the Russian military to strike into Ukraine with impunity because Ukraine hasn香蕉视频直播檛 been able to strike on factories and military production sites in Russia,香蕉视频直播 Trudeau said in a press conference from Rio de Janeiro Tuesday.

香蕉视频直播淲e have called for that for a while. So I think it香蕉视频直播檚 a good thing that the United States has done that and other partners are doing that.香蕉视频直播

Trudeau said the summit came 香蕉视频直播渁t a particularly challenging time in the world, for geopolitics but also for citizens all around the world,香蕉视频直播 due to inflation, war and climate change.

香蕉视频直播淭he world is not what it was 10 years ago,香蕉视频直播 he said.

Trudeau acknowledged that Trump香蕉视频直播檚 re-election has raised concerns about a number of issues, including climate change and multilateralism.

For Canada, continental trade is also top of mind as Trump has threatened to introduce new border tariffs and the updated North American trade agreement signed in Trump香蕉视频直播檚 first term comes up for review in 2026.

There have been calls from premiers in Ontario and Alberta for Canada to consider shutting Mexico out of those talks as heavy levels of Chinese investment in Mexico have raised questions that it has become a back door into the North American market for Chinese goods.

Both Canada and the U.S. have imposed high tariffs on a number of Chinese-made goods including electric vehicles, steel and aluminum products. They both accuse China of overproduction and dumping.

While in Brazil Trudeau met with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, having their first in-person discussion since her inauguration in October.

Just before that meeting Trudeau publicly raised concern about the high levels of Chinese investment in Mexico.

Trudeau told reporters Tuesday that he 香蕉视频直播渉ighlighted directly香蕉视频直播 that concern with Sheinbaum in their meeting, while adding that Canada wants to have strong trade that benefits all citizens in North America.

香蕉视频直播淏ut it香蕉视频直播檚 up to the Mexican government to consider what position they香蕉视频直播檒l take,香蕉视频直播 he said in French.

The summit comes ahead of Canada assuming the presidency of the G7, a group of powerful economies with like-minded views on geopolitics. Last time Canada hosted the G7 leaders香蕉视频直播 summit in 2018, Trump infamously stormed out after tense exchanges over the steel and aluminum tariffs he imposed on Canada. He called Trudeau 香蕉视频直播渄ishonest and weak.香蕉视频直播

The prime minister said he is not panicked about next year香蕉视频直播檚 summit in Alberta.

香蕉视频直播淭he challenge of working with an American president that doesn香蕉视频直播檛 always put multilateralism and summitry at a high priority is going to be real, but we navigated it successfully,香蕉视频直播 he said, noting progress at that summit on artificial intelligence and girls香蕉视频直播 education.

香蕉视频直播淲hen we stay focused on what matters for Canadians, on the principles and the things that are impacting everyone around the world 香蕉视频直播 including American citizens 香蕉视频直播 there香蕉视频直播檚 always ways of getting through.香蕉视频直播

Trudeau added that South Africa is aligned on that approach as it hosts the G20 next year, with a focus on how emerging economies can secure more energy.

Last week in Peru, Trudeau announced Canada would push for more nuclear-power collaboration with Southeast Asian countries, and he said that will be a key way Canada tries to form alliances with countries closer to China and India than with Western powers.
