Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expressed support for the U.S. authorization allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with long-range missiles. He made these comments while speaking to reporters in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro.

Trudeau also stated that his meeting with President Biden took place in a very comfortable atmosphere. The Prime Minister noted that they discussed several important issues on which Canada and the United States will collaborate in the coming months.

It is worth mentioning that Prime Minister Trudeau was in Brazil to attend the G-20 summit, where he met with President Biden and several other world leaders on the first day of the meeting.

His meeting with Biden lasted about half an hour, and it is considered the last meeting between the two leaders before Trump takes office in January.
