Protests at G7 summit in Alberta set to be largely peaceful, targeting Trump policies
- The 2025 G7 leaders summit commenced on Sunday near Calgary, Alberta, set against the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains to the southwest, and included designated areas for protests.
- The summit follows ongoing intense protests in the United States against President Trump's immigration enforcement and warnings of heavy force against parade protesters in Washington, D.C.
- Canadian protests around the summit are expected to be smaller and more peaceful, with about 200 people planned for Calgary City Hall and issues extending beyond Trump to conflicts like Israel-Hamas and Ukraine.
- On June 11, the White House clarified that President Trump endorses peaceful protests and upholds the First Amendment, even as he issued stern warnings about using strong measures against disruptive demonstrations.
- The contrast between the U.S. military-style approach to protests and the Canadian strategy of designated zones and monitoring suggests the summit is likely to proceed without major clashes.
