Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday (June 17, 2026) said a U.S.-Iran deal to end the Middle East war could be a “game changer” in the region and beyond.
There is “a likelihood that this memorandum of understanding agreement could be a game changer”, Mr. Carney told reporters on the third day of a G7 leaders’ meeting in the French town of Evian.
He pointed to encouraging discussions, which included US President Donald Trump, on Ukraine and Lebanon at the summit.
The Canadian premier said he noted a U.S. “change in tone with respect to Ukraine” as Kyiv seeks to end more than four years of conflict following Russia’s invasion.
This included “a more realistic — in our view — expectation of where this war was going to go, and the position against Russia, the tightening of sanctions against Russia, the ability to provide additional defensive support for Ukraine”.
The leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain and the United States also held a “very detailed discussion about Lebanon”, he added. — AFP
