“We're going to get the bare-chested horseback riding display,” Mr Trudeau said in reference to a picture of President Putin riding shirtless on a horse in 2009."Horseback riding is the best." The leaders were taking photos in the presence of the media before the meeting began behind closed doors. After the meeting US President Joe Biden confirmed an “unprecedented” move to ban imports of Russian gold in an attempt to further limit the revenue President Putin’s needs to fund the war.
Gold exports are a significant source of revenue for Russia and its ability to transact with the global financial system.Mr Johnson also slammed President Putin’s aggressive advances into Ukraine labelling the invasion as a “pointless and barbaric war".
