Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will push for Ukraine to be admitted into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) at a summit this week in Latvia where member countries will weigh the possibility of admitting Ukraine into the treaty organization.

“We feel very strongly that Ukraine should be joining NATO as soon as conditions allow,” Mr. Trudeau told reporters in Adazi, Latvia, on July 10 as he and Defence Minister Anita Anand prepare to meet with a number of allies during the NATO Leaders’ Summit this week.
