US EditionAs Trump Heads to the G7, Canada Hopes to Avoid Another Charlevoix-Style Eruption
CANADA, JUN 14 – G7 leaders focus on resolving trade disputes and escalating conflicts, with the U.S. imposing tariffs and Ukraine war and Middle East tensions dominating discussions.
- 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.

This is another idyllic region of Canada -this time in Quebec- where the last meeting of the group was held in Canadian territory. That was in 2018 and something similar to its end -it ended as the rosary of the aurora- is what i…

The last time Canada presided over a G-7 summit, a photograph passed into history. It was 2018, in Charlevoix. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was leaning on a table, seemingly murky, in the direction of a Donald Trump who looked at her with disdain, among the faces of concern or circumstances of the French President, Emmanuel Macron; Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, or then US National Security Advisor John Bolton. No statement or leak could…
