Canada is hosting the G7 summit in Kananaskis, overshadowed by the Iran-Israel conflict, diverting focus from Canada's economic goals. Trump's trade policies and tariffs are creating tensions among G7 nations,

A year later at a G7 meeting also in Canada, Trump made his most indelible mark on the summit circuit. A viral photo showed him sitting defiant, with arms crossed, staring up at German’s then-chancellor Angela Merkel, while other leaders stood around her.

The summit takes place amid growing geopolitical challenges, including the conflict in the Middle East and a trade war driven by US President Donald Trump’s tariff policies

The 2018 summit ended with Trump assailing his Canadian hosts on social media as he departed on Air Force One, saying he had instructed the U.S. officials who remained in Quebec to oppose the G7 joint statement endorsed by the leaders of Japan, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and, of course, Canada.

KANANASKIS - Prime Minister Mark Carney's office says U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to reach a deal on a new economic and security relationship with Canada by mid-July.

Leaders arrived Monday for the start of a three-day Group of Seven summit hosted by Canada in its Rocky Mountains. Countries belonging to the G7 forum also include France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Canada and India are reportedly using the G7 summit to announce a new intelligence-sharing initiative after years of bad blood.

A civilian plane entered restricted airspace near Kananaskis, where the G7 Summit is taking place over the weekend, and was forced to land by the North American Aerospace Defence Command Canadian division.
