The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday, Oct. 12, edition that Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned a U.S. deal for Russia to supply millions of barrels of diesel, saying it would fund the war with Ukraine and undermine peace efforts, while also thanking Donald Trump for his work on a proposed ceasefire. The Globe's Ian Bailey writes that the PM spoke with President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in separate conversations on Sunday, amid American efforts to broker a ceasefire aimed at protecting energy infrastructure. The Prime Minister's Office summarized a call with the Ukrainian leader, where the PM criticized Mr. Trump's diesel deal, which involves Russia supplying 300,000 tonnes of diesel to United States and global markets. The statement said: "The Prime Minister was clear: this agreement is in direct opposition to the efforts of Ukraine, Canada, and our allies to create peace and stability in Europe. It will provide additional revenue for Russia and help finance its illegal, unjustifiable war against Ukraine." The PMO's statement marked an unusually sharp public rebuke of White House policy on Ukraine by the PM, whose criticisms of Mr. Trump often don't mention him or the U.S. by name.
