G7 summit. The leaders of the richest countries meet today in Canada. The meeting, under the shadow of the Israel-Iran conflict and Trump's threats

The G7 summit that starts on Sunday in Canada will be dominated by the war. On the agenda of discussions of the leaders of the seven savings in the world were the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and Donald Trump's tariff war against US trading partners. Instead, the three -day meeting will inevitably focus on the Middle East war, writes the BBC.

Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States (the group of the seven) meet on June 15-17 in the rocky mountains of Alberta. The decision of Israel to appeal Iran will force these countries to give less time to other issues and to discuss conflict management ways.

According to the BBC, as in many other discussions held by these super-powerions, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy-together with Canada and Japan-will try to influence the United States.

Although Israel could have launched the attacks on Iran without the explicit support of the United States, President Donald Trump is the only leader who has a real influence on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The G7 leaders, who are to arrive on Sunday in Canada, are aware of global security and economy risks if the Israeli-Iranian conflict aggravates, involving other countries and causing a vertiginal increase in oil prices.

However, it is Posinil to be difficult for them to reach a common position, notes the Bile publication. The BBC explains that some leaders, such as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, have called for restraint and conflict defamation. But others, like Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, condemned Israel's attack as “intolerable” and “extremely regrettable.” For his part, Donald Trump praised Israel's attacks, qualifying them as “excellent.”

Canada is trying to avoid a conflict with Trump

Mark Carney, the new Canadian prime minister, wanted the summit that marked the 50th anniversary of G7 to avoid disputes with Donald Trump. But his desire seems at this moment a utopia.

Much of Cariy's agenda was devoid of controversy, referring to energy security, protecting mineral supply chains, accelerating digital transition and combating forest fires.

It was a little talked about problems such as climatic changes, against which Trump is skeptical. Canadian officials even decided not to issue a summit statement to avoid the textual disputes that would have dominated the meeting. In contrast, world leaders will agree on a series of “short, action -oriented statements”, which maintain the consensus and ignore the controversial problems.

When Canada hosted the G7 summit in 2018, a dispute was held on Donald Trump's commercial tariffs. The president left the summit earlier, accusing Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister of then, of being “dishonest and weak” because he promised to take measures against American tariffs and aluminum. Then, the US president broke the agreement that the leaders had just signed.

Mark Carry will have a heavy challenge from another point of view. The Canadian Prime Minister has earned his position by promising to face the increasing aggression of the US President, who has several times as he will make Canada the 51st US state.

“An uncomfortable family meeting”

The meeting in Canada is Donald Trump's first incursion on the world scene since his inauguration, and his six partners do not know what to expect.

Max Bergmann, the director of the program for Europe, Russia and Eurasia of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said: “The question now is not so much” is this an uncomfortable family meeting? “Is that almost a certain thing. I think the question is:” Is this still a family? “.

However, there are a few new faces around the table that could help, writes BBC, who reminds Sir Keir Starmer, Merz Chancellor in Germany, Ishiba and Cary. The Veteran leaders of G7, President Macron and Prime Minister Meloni from Italy, understand each other well with the US president.

It is not expected that other leaders participating in the summit, from Mexico, India, Australia, South Africa, South Korea and Brazil, to cause conflicts.

Trump's confrontation on tariffs

The most obvious test of existential tensions in G7 will be Donald Trump's commercial war. This club of some of the richest industrial nations in the world was established in the 1970s to discuss the global economic crisis. And yet, now G7 is facing harmful rates imposed by one of its members.

The argument that world leaders will bring to the US president is that if they want them to help him counteract long-term, economic or other threats, from China, then it does not make sense to punish their allies. They will want to clarify that there is a compromise between putting America in the first place and facing Beijing.

Josh Lipsky, senior director of the Geoeconomics Center of Atlantic Council, said: “If the question is how we coordinate with China, how we coordinate on technology, on Russia and Ukraine – how we can have this type of alliance between democrats with advanced economies if, in the same time, we create an economic difficulties. member? ”.

Pressure on Russia in connection with Ukraine

The key to this debate will be Ukraine. President Zelenski will join the discussions on Tuesday. His goal, along with other leaders, will be to evaluate the current state of President Trump's thinking towards Russia.

Ukraine's allies want to exert more pressure on President Putin to determine at the negotiation table. To do this, they want to hit its economy more strongly.

First of all, they want to reduce the price that a large part of the world pays for Russian oil. Secondly, Ukraine's Western allies want a new pack of harsh economic sanctions.

The European Commission has already proposed a new series of sanctions targeting energy income, banks and Moscow's military industry.

American senators, led by Lindsay Graham, also promote new harsh sanctions that would impose raised rates that buy cheap oil, especially China and India.

It was said that G7 was a kind of “director committee” of the free world, and this week we are about to find out if the glory days of the club have appeared, BBC notes.
