Trump Faces European Leaders in High-Stakes G7 Summit Amid Tensions

European leaders gear up for a pivotal G7 summit in Canada, hoping to avoid the drama that marked their last encounter with Trump in 2018.


As President Trump prepares to meet European leaders for a crucial G7 summit in Canada, expectations are low given the chaotic history of their previous encounters. The last summit in 2018 ended with Trump's explosive tweet disparaging the Canadian Prime Minister, following a tense group photo that showcased his disdain for the proceedings.

In light of this backdrop, European leaders are now walking on eggshells, hoping to sidestep issues that could ignite Trump's temper. Max Bergmann, an expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, posits that the real question heading into this year is whether G7 nations still function like a family after recent events.

Adding to the volatility, Israel's unexpected military strikes on Iran have forced leaders to recalibrate their agendas. Consequences from the heightened conflict in the Middle East—like increasing oil prices and fears of retaliatory terror—loom large. As they gather in the serene mountains of western Canada, leaders from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States must address not only internal tensions but also unstable global dynamics that put their unity to the test.
