Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said he expected “significant results” from his wife’s meetings in Washington.

Olena was tasked with increasing U.S. support for Ukraine to “protect people from Russian terror”.

The First Lady also unveiled a humanitarian effort for children who have lost their limbs during the war. The scheme allows the children to travel to the U.S. for urgent emergency treatment.

Meanwhile, it’s understood the meeting also discussed mental health concerns for mothers and children who have suffered from the atrocities.

Russia maintains the war is a special military operation to protect its own security.

Mark Carney’s Liberals projected to win Canadian election, promising economic reform and a robust stance against Trump.

In Short

Canadians are likely to re-elect Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberal Party, aiming to tackle economic challenges and U.S. relations.

Carney’s leadership has gained voter support, positioning him against Conservative rhetoric and focusing on strengthening Canada’s economy and trade ties.

Canadians are projected to retain the Liberal Party under Prime Minister Mark Carney in the recent national elections.

Carney, a former central banker, is expected to address economic challenges and respond to U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims about Canada’s economy.

The Liberals aim for a fourth term, although it is uncertain if they will secure a majority. Carney took over as Prime Minister following Justin Trudeau’s resignation earlier this year.

The Conservatives were leading by over 20 points in January but the political landscape shifted after Trump’s return. Carney positioned himself as the candidate capable of managing relationships with the U.S. and rebuilding Canada’s economy, which heavily depends on American demand.

Leadership skills

Polling data indicated a turning tide for the Liberals, as voters appreciated Carney’s leadership skills. After a conversation with Trump, Carney mentioned plans to discuss a new economic and security agreement post-election.

He plans to increase military investment while maintaining Canadian sovereignty on key issues like resources and language laws.

Carney has emphasised the need to enhance trade ties with Europe and Asia, aiming to reduce barriers within Canada. With his background in finance during critical periods, he aims to bring confidence back to the economy through tax reforms and targeted spending.

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative rhetoric reportedly alienated some voters, amplifying support for Carney as the viable choice against Trump’s influence.
