Trade, sudden exports, conflicts in the Middle East

Under the leadership of first-time host Mark Carney, Canada’s G7 summit will have a well-planned agenda.

The plan was reversed by Israel’s early departure with Iran and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Carney still said Tuesday that the summit “can begin a new era of collaboration, thereby promoting long-term resilience in short-term efficiency.”

Here are five gains from the dramatic G7 of Kananaskis, Alberta.

G7 – Italy, the United States, France, Germany, Britain, Canada and Japan – was a leader Tuesday after the surprising decision of the U.S. president to abandon the summit in Washington, D.C.

Participants made an active spin on the sudden departure.

Prime Minister Carney said he fully understood the president’s decision, while French President Emmanuel Macron called a reporter a question about whether the group is now “disrespectful”.

Trump said he left due to a rapid development of events between Israel and Iran.

The White House insists that the president had a “good day” in Alberta and has achieved a lot on his trip. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stayed to represent the United States.

Denisse Rudich, director of the London G7 research group, said Trump’s departure is not necessarily a bad thing.

When he was there, it seemed that everyone was “on the eggshell”, the leader smiled but said cautiously, “You don’t know what will change.”

She said they were more relaxed the next day. “It doesn’t look forced. It looks more natural.”

Still, that means Trump has missed a planned bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum (although he later talked to her over the phone, the White House said).

By Tuesday, many of the world’s concerns have shifted from mountain resorts in the Canadian Rockies to evolving conflicts in the Middle East, as well as uncertainty about the potential U.S. action plan.

The conflict also masked much of the summit’s first day as G7 leaders agreed on their response to tensions in the region.

Ultimately, the United States also issued a communique urging “degraded hostilities in the Middle East, including in Gaza’s ceasefire” – although it stopped calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Trump later accused the French president of “seeking propaganda” and suggested that the United States was working on a ceasefire.

Macron said Tuesday that it was Trump who was discussing the option.

“I am not responsible for the changes in the US government’s thinking,” he said.

Despite walking back and forth, the statement is a sign of solidarity.

In Ukraine, Zelensky will leave the summit with new aid from Canada, but in particular there is no joint support.

It has been reported that Canada has removed strong plans for resistance to the United States in the war.

Pressure was put on this, and Kahni denied the lack of consensus and pointed out comments about Ukraine in a summary statement by the president of the summit.

In the statement, G7 “showed support for President Trump’s efforts to achieve just and lasting peace in Ukraine” and urged Russia to agree to a ceasefire.

It also said they “resolutely explore all options to maximize pressure on Russia, including financial sanctions” – something Trump resisted.

Another result could cause friction at home with Carney. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s attendance at the summit was a nervous point for Sikh Canadians.

Kahni’s office said India and Canada have agreed to resume diplomatic services after the two countries expelled top envoys.

It was Ottawa’s allegation that the New Delhi government agents were involved in the killing of Sikh separatist leaders on Canadian soil.

According to readings from the meeting between Kani and Modi, he proposed “transnational crime and repression, security and rules-based orders” in the conversation.

Still, Carney is the former central bank governor of Canada and the UK, serving as the first G7 summit, serving as prime minister, hosting the key agenda and leaving shared statements on artificial intelligence and quantum computing, immigration smuggling, key minerals and other issues.

Ms. Rudic said the approach is “concise, detailed, action-oriented – you can see the banker”.

She praised the “focused” approach to diplomacy, pointing to a consent to promote global wildfire cooperation without specifically mentioning climate change”.

One of the most noteworthy moments at the summit was a sitting down between Trump and Carney.

The two countries reportedly approached trade and security agreements after the two countries launched negotiations last month to resolve their sell-tax tariff war.

Trump said the barriers remain–he was a “tariff man” and Carney “had a more complicated idea.”

However, the differences are not insurmountable, according to a statement from Carney’s office, which said: “The leaders agreed to negotiate the deal within the next 30 days.”

At this deadline, the Prime Minister said he would be “in Canada’s best interest and in line with the U.S. interests.”

The G7 also provides Carney with opportunities for several world leaders in trade with Canada.

The Prime Minister’s lofty goal is to make Canada’s economy the strongest in the G7, while trying to reduce its country’s deep economic dependence on the United States.

On Tuesday, European officials said they were close to signing a defense procurement agreement with Canada that also hoped to reduce its reliance on U.S. equipment.

One thing Trump wants to be open to: a trade deal.

Although Carney did not walk away with one person, British Prime Minister Sir Kyle Starmer and the U.S. leaders both smiled after signing part of a tariff deal last month.

Many other leaders attending the meeting were eager to determine the president’s tariffs and trade.

Like Canada, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and Trump failed to reach a breakthrough but agreed to push for trade talks.

“We have been exploring the possibility of reaching an agreement with the wires, but there are still some of our views that are still divided,” Ishiba told reporters.

There is also some pressure in the United States – Trump promised a deal during the July 9 deadline, which marked the end of his 90-day pause in the “Liberation Day” tariffs.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the ongoing trade talks between the United States and the EU were “complex” but were “forward” with the aim of reaching an agreement in July.
