Canadian Prime Minister Carney called for strengthening ties with France in the face of new global threats.

法國總統馬克龍：與加拿大的加拿大總理卡尼達成一致，建立更緊密的關係，包括在能源、太空和氣候領域。

William Lawrence, former US diplomat and American University professor of international relations, said Saudi Arabia did not respond quickly enough to a Houthi offensive in Yemen because each side assumed the other would deal with the threat. He said both Washington and Riyadh assumed the other would defend Mocha; when then-President Trump denied Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s request for assistance, Saudi forces were too late to intervene there. Lawrence added the Saudi-led anti-Houthi coalition’s new command-and-control architecture—designed to improve defense and coordination—appeared to collapse at the outset of the Houthis’ lightning raid along the Red Sea coast toward the Bab al-Mandeb. A Saudi counteroffensive has begun but has delivered limited success so far in retaking Houthi-held areas; Lawrence characterized the problem as a delayed reaction to the scale of the attacks rather than a misjudgment of Houthi capability.
