Yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, at the Global Citizen NOW Summit in New York City, United States of America.
The leaders discussed Russia’s ongoing illegal and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine and its impact on the global cost of living and food insecurity. They agreed to continue to pursue joint efforts with Allies and G7 partners to support those most affected by the consequences of Russian aggression, including in the Global South.
Last month, when she came to Canada, President @vonderLeyen and I spoke about supporting Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. We kept that conversation going yesterday – and we’re on the same page. We’ll continue to make sure Ukrainians have the support they need. pic.twitter.com/RRWyg2Um4R
