The move upended weeks of American diplomacy aimed at trying to find a diplomatic off-ramp.<\/p>\n<p>During his roughly 24 hours in Canada, Trump met with several other leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
