The annual G7 summit opened today under heavy political clouds, as global leaders gathered in the Canadian Rockies to tackle a wave of urgent global crises—from the Israel-Iran conflict to the rise of authoritarian politics.
U.S. President Donald Trump arrived amid protests and skepticism, facing criticism for his increasingly isolationist tone and threats to withdraw from key trade deals unless terms are renegotiated on U.S. terms.
Summit Highlights
- Israel–Iran Conflict: Starmer pushes for diplomacy, Trump backs Israel unconditionally.
- Ukraine Defense: Europe wants more aid; Trump is hesitant.
- Trade Tensions: Canada, Germany reject U.S. tariffs.
“We must act together or risk a world divided beyond repair.” — Chancellor Annika Scholz
“America first doesn’t mean America alone, but it does mean fairness.” — President Trump
This summit may shape the next phase of global cooperation—or deepen divides.
