Canada’s New PM Carney SHOCKS Trump: “We’ll Talk On MY TERMS” | Carney Warns U.S. Over Sovereignty

Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney is taking a firm stand against President Trump’s aggressive trade rhetoric. After winning a Liberal minority, Carney made it clear that Canada will only engage with Washington on equal terms. He rejected Trump’s “51st state” comment and emphasized Canada’s sovereignty and global partnerships. Carney plans to prioritize respect, fairness, and mutual interest in trade talks—vowing to push back on U.S. tariffs and strengthen ties with Europe and the UK. The upcoming G7 summit may be the first major test of this reset. #MarkCarney #CanadaPM #Trump #USCanadaRelations #TariffWar #TradeTalks #Sovereignty #CarneyVsTrump #GlobalTrade #Tariffs #SteelTariffs #CanadaNews #USPolitics #NorthAmerica #G7Summit #Diplomacy #ForeignPolicy #EnergyTrade #CarneySpeech #WashingtonTalks #CanadaUS #LiberalMinority #PoliticalDrama #CanadaStrong #AlliesOrNot #InternationalRelations #FreeTrade #AmericaFirst #MutualRespect #CarneyRising Also Read Canada Election Result Marks Nationalist Comeback Against Donald Trump.

U.S Special Envoy Steve Witkoff recently met Russian President Vladimir Putin in a bid to persuade Russia for a ceasefire deal in Ukraine. This was the 4th such meeting in just over 2 months, but there seems to be no breakthrough yet as Putin remains firm recognition of Russia's control over Crimea and the four regions under Russian control since 2022.

Trump’s Big ULTIMATUM to Ukraine, ‘Make Peace Or
’ Amid Failing Peace Talks | Russia Ukraine War

US President Donald Trump has claimed Ukraine could be “crushed very shortly” unless it agrees to peace talks with Russia. In an interview with The Atlantic, Trump said he’s trying to save Ukraine by pushing for negotiations, suggesting Moscow is open to a deal. He criticized Kiev’s stance, especially on Crimea, and hinted Zelensky was tougher to negotiate with than Putin. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance echoed similar concerns, and Secretary of State Rubio warned of the US abandoning talks if delays persist. Trump is also seeking a minerals agreement with Ukraine. #Trump #UkraineCrisis #RussiaUkraineWar #Zelensky #Putin #PeaceTalks #Kyiv #USPolitics #JDVance #MarcoRubio#TrumpAdministration #UkraineConflict #Geopolitics #MineralDeals #RussiaNews #BidenLegacy #Crimea #WorldNews #Diplomacy #BreakingNews ~ED.346~GR.122~HT.318~

Kremlin Slams Ukraine: 'No Signs of Talks', Zelensky Maintains Ban on Direct Negotiations with Putin

In this latest update, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov slams Ukraine for showing no sign of readiness to engage in direct negotiations with Russia. Despite Moscow’s openness to peace talks, Ukrainian President Zelensky maintains a strict ban on any negotiations with Vladimir Putin—a move he implemented in October 2022 to stop separatism and control backchannel talks. Peskov insists that Ukraine must act, especially in light of its legal ban on direct talks. #Ukraine #RussiaUkraineConflict #Kremlin #DmitryPeskov #Zelensky #Putin #UkraineTalks #PeaceTalks #Diplomacy #UkraineBan #Russia #InternationalRelations #UkraineNews #Geopolitics Also Read Pakistani Troops Violate Ceasefire For Fourth Night Amid Rising Tensions After Pahalgam Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistani-troops-violate-ceasefire-for-fourth-night-amid-rising-tensions-after-pahalgam-attack-4137009.html?ref=DMDesc Lebanon and Syria Agree to Ceasefire Following Two Days of Border Clashes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/lebanon-syria-ceasefire-agreement-border-clashes-011-4097569.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Halts Supply Entry To Gaza, Warns Of Further Action If Hamas Rejects Ceasefire Deal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-halts-supply-entry-to-gaza-warns-of-further-action-if-hamas-rejects-ceasefire-deal-4084551.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~GR.121~
