As Trump Goes to G7 Summit, Other World Leaders Aim to Show They're Not Intimidated
- The G7 summit begins Monday 2025 in Kananaskis, Canada, with leaders including President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy attending to address global challenges.
- The summit arises amid strained relations caused by Trump's tariffs, trade policies, and threats, which have alienated allies and fractured long-standing partnerships like that with Canada.
- European and other G7 leaders, notably Macron and Japan’s Ishiba, show subtle but clear pushback against Trump’s agenda by emphasizing cooperation without coercion and critiquing tariff threats.
- Analysts highlight that although Trump has issued 22 public warnings of possible military intervention since his first term, actual use of force occurred only twice, and many international leaders are increasingly aware that his aggressive posturing is often bluster, with some anticipating he will ultimately retreat.
- The summit will likely reflect a fragmented G7 and unsettled global economy, as leaders seek to address Middle East instability and trade disputes while deciding not to issue a joint communiqué.
