Surprise: Canada’s Conservatives Voted Against a New Trade Deal with The Faltering Ukraine

Ukrainian officials were taken aback by the sudden politicization of a trade deal first championed by former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Justin Trudeau is blaming the MAGA movement and Republican ideology for eroding support for Ukraine.
The Canadian prime minister used a press conference with visiting European leaders to connect a gambit by his Conservative rivals in Ottawa to hard-right rhetoric in the United States and Europe, which he said is “starting to parrot Russian disinformation and misinformation and propaganda.”

Trudeau blames ‘MAGA influence’ for stirring debate on Ukraine

In a surprise move this week, Canada’s Conservatives voted against a new trade deal with the war-torn country.

Support for Ukraine has evolved into a crisis in Washington, with calls from congressional members to pump the brakes on U.S. aid to the country. The position, most evident among a hardline group of Republicans, reflects former President Donald Trump’s “America First” ethos on foreign policy and hostility to foreign aid.

Trudeau was hosting European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in the Atlantic harbor city for a two-day leaders’ summit at which a new EU-Canada green alliance was formally announced.
