The Group of Seven leaders will start meeting in the Canadian Rockies on Sunday as trade and foreign policy tensions between the United States and Canada escalate. Canada, the host country, is making an effort to avoid conflict with President Donald Trump.
Even though Prime Minister Mark Carney says his main priorities are creating jobs, improving peace and security, and building essential mineral supply chains, issues like US tariffs and the Middle East and Ukraine conflicts are expected to be discussed.
US ally Israel launched a barrage of attacks across Iran on Thursday, foiling Trump’s diplomatic efforts to halt the assault.
The summit will take place at the mountain resort of Kananaskis, some 90 kilometers west of Calgary.
