U.S. President Donald Trump's upcoming attendance at the Group of Seven summit in Canada echoes his controversial remarks about annexing Canada and escalating trade tensions with allies. Prime Minister Mark Carney, hosting the summit, criticizes Trump's diminishing diplomatic influence and decision to impose tariffs. Departing from traditional practices, no joint statement will be issued post-summit, indicative of the contentious atmosphere marked by past meetings where Trump withdrew support from communiques. The G7 includes leaders from Canada, the U.S., and other global powers, alongside Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.
Trump's calls to make Canada the 51st U.S. state have infuriated Canadians, showcasing his divisive approach as he heads to the G7 summit.
Carney asserted Washington no longer plays a predominant role globally, criticizing Trump's trade war tactics and their impact on international alliances.
In a departure from tradition, Carney will not issue a communique, reflecting the contentious nature of previous summits and Trump's unpredictable behavior.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will attend and is expected to meet with Trump, with tensions lingering from their previous Oval Office encounter.
