Russian leader and US president to speak by phone and discuss Ukraine ceasefire plan

Mark Carney, the new Canadian prime minister, has arrived in Paris on his first stop of a visit to France and the UK as he seeks to bolster European alliances to deal with Donald Trump’s attacks on Canada’s sovereignty and economy.

Speaking at a press conference alongside French president Emmanuel Macron, Carney said Canada was “the most European of non-European countries, determined like you, to maintain the most positive possible relations with the United States”.
