In Banff and Calgary, Carney and Zelenskyy stressed strong Canada-Ukraine ties, detailing Canada’s military support, sanctions on Russia, and collaborative defense efforts such as Project Freya to advance air-defense capabilities.

Trump later described the slide test as a routine check, and reports indicate he remained on Marine One for about 20 minutes before boarding, while backup aircraft were involved in the logistics.

Rachel Meyers Even if it's routine, popping the slide right before boarding still makes you double-check everything on that new aircraft.
