Trump and Trade Loom Over Canada’s G7 Summit (Matthew P. Goodman – Council on Foreign Relations)

In 1975, leaders of the world’s largest industrialized nations met in a fourteenth-century château southwest of Paris for an informal exchange of views on the turmoil embroiling the global economy in the wake of the first oil shock. Fifty years later, leaders of what is now known as the Group of Seven (G7) are scheduled to convene in Kananaskis in the Canadian Rockies on June 15–17 for their latest annual summit. Far from recreating the unity of the first summit, Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney will be hard pressed to prevent a visible rupture in the group.
