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

As the G7 group of large democratic nations with big economies meets Sunday in Alberta, Canada they have a broad agenda in the midst of global economic and military turmoil.

For decades, the G7 has remained representative of Western-centrism, seeking to impose a development model based on Western standards on developing countries with the ultimate goal of promoting the Western-dominated international economic system despite the fact that this system has proved to be far from fair and equitable.

Leaders of the Group of Seven nations issued a joint statement urging de-escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran and reaffirmed their stance that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

BANFF, Alta. — The heads of the world’s richest economies are converging on Alberta today for one of the most high-stakes G7 meetings in recent memory amid a U.S.-led global tariff war and the growing crisis in the Middle East.

The PM told the Daily Express that people shouldn't be concerned about the leader of the free world after a number of blunders.
