Trudeau meets with Truss, other world leaders ahead of queen’s funeralMONTREAL — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met his British counterpart and other world leaders in London on Sunday, as talk of the economy and the war in Ukraine took their place alongside the sombre preparations for Queen Elizabeth's funeral. While the focus of the trip is Monday's funeral, Trudeau also took the time to meet with fellow leaders including Truss and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. "Vladimir Putin, his supporters and the Russian military need to be held to account for the atrocities they have and are continuing to commit in Ukraine," Trudeau said. The prime minister said he and his British counterpart also discussed inflation and the negotiations for a Canada-UK trade deal, which he said were "advancing well." Trudeau was also set to meet Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and participate in an evening reception at Buckingham Palace later on Sunday before attending the queen's state funeral Monday morning.
