President Trump says a ceasefire deal in Ukraine is close.
He's announced on social media that he will meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska next week.
He was asked about a potential deal after the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a peace agreement at the White House.
Europe wants to see peace.
The European leaders want to see peace.
President Putin, I believe, wants to see peace.
Trump said the deal would include some swapping of territories.
but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is warning against reaching a peace deal that excludes Ukraine.
He also says Ukraine's territorial integrity is enshrined in the country's constitution and that Ukraine will not give up land to occupiers.
Canada has joined the EU and Britain in lowering the price cap for Russian oil.
Dan Karpinchuk reports that Ottawa says the decision puts more pressure on the Russian military.
The lowering of the price cap for Russian crude from $60 a barrel to just over $47 is the latest effort to restrict what some cabinet ministers call Russia's ability to wage an unjust and unprovoked war against Ukraine.
The move by Ottawa and its partners sends a signal to the Kremlin and limits a key source of Russia's funding.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says Canada continues to stand with Ukraine.
Canada now joins all G7 countries as well as Australia and New Zealand.
Those countries have all lowered their caps on Russian oil prices over the past year,
with the aim of restricting Russia's ability to pay for its war.
President Donald Trump has also imposed additional sanctions on Russia and increased tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil.
