Jeff Sahadeo, professor at Carleton University’s Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies, speaks to Hub managing editor Harrison Lowman about the international ramifications of a press conference that saw President Trump and Vice President JD Vance publicly dressing down Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Zelensky in front of the American media, pausing negotiations between the two nations. They also discuss what it all means on the eve of American tariffs being launched against Canada.
