President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday, during which the two leaders discussed the war in Ukraine and fentanyl reduction efforts at the United States’s northern border.

On the Russia-Ukraine war, both Trump and Trudeau agreed there must be an end to the conflict that is approaching its three-year mark and has resulted in a massive death toll on both sides. Trump also repeated his claim that the war would never have started if he was president then, to which Trudeau agreed, according to the White House readout of the call.

On Canadian efforts to reduce the trafficking of fentanyl across the northern border of the U.S., which Trudeau promised to ramp up in response to a looming tariff threat from Trump, the prime minister touted a “90% percent reduction” in fentanyl crossing the border. He added that his own “border czar” will meet with Tom Homan next week.

The call concluded with both leaders anticipating a G7 call on Monday that will be a show of support for Ukraine as peace talks continue to play out. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has already indicated she would not be attending the call, citing a scheduling conflict.

Her absence leaves Canada, the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Japan as the G7 countries expected to attend Monday’s call.
