US EditionAs Trump Heads to the G7, Canada Hopes to Avoid Another Charlevoix-Style Eruption
- U.S. President Donald Trump traveled to Kananaskis, Alberta, in June 2025 for a two-day G7 summit with fellow leaders, including newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
- The summit occurs amid lingering tensions from Trump’s prior 2018 Canadian G7 visit, where he clashed with Justin Trudeau and rejected signing the joint communiqué, raising concerns about potential disruptions.
- Canada’s government scheduled shorter discussions and invited various non-G7 leaders to reduce blowups, while Carney aims to balance difficult diplomacy and advance issues like trade, Ukraine, and security.
- Trump’s temporary tariff suspensions on allied nations are nearing expiration, and he aims to secure new agreements before his July 9 deadline. Meanwhile, the head of the European Commission recently suggested reducing the cap on Russian oil prices to $45 per barrel.
- The summit’s outcomes may shape collective efforts on Ukraine and economic cooperation, though unpredictable Trump behavior poses risks, leaving Carney to manage a delicate summit amid evolving G7 dynamics.
