Biden and Trudeau stand firm against authoritarian regimes and Russia-China ties.

President Biden and Prime Minister Trudeau reaffirmed the strong relationship between the US and Canada and pledged to defend Ukraine against Russian aggression. They also announced an agreement to stem the flow of asylum seekers at unofficial border crossings and discussed shared concerns about China's aggressiveness and political instability in Haiti. The leaders also touched on defense spending and Canada's commitment to increase it to 2% of its GDP. Biden warned Iran to prepare for the US to act forcefully to protect its people after a suspected Iranian-made drone killed a US contractor in Syria.
