Hello, welcome to World Business Report from the BBC World Service.
My name's Ed Butler.
And on today's edition,
we're looking at emergency talks which have been taking place in Paris in the last few hours,
linked to US attempts to end the war in Ukraine.
Britain's Prime Minister, Zakir Starmer has described it as a once in a generation imperative.
The issue of burden sharing is not new, but it is now pressing and Europeans will have to step up,
both in terms of spending and the capabilities that we provide.
But how will Europe step up?
And can Ukraine's resistance continue without US support?
Also in the show,
I find out what happens to the West's electronic products when they grow old and obsolete.
And how Canadians are responding to Donald Trump's threats of tariffs
by boycotting US products themselves.
I don't think this is a temporary shift
in the attitude of Canadian consumers now towards American goods.
They no longer are viewing the Americans as a reliable partner and friend.
We'll have more on that later in the show.
First, though,
this week all the talk is about Ukraine
