Donald Trump Attends G7 Summit in Alberta Amid Trade, Security Tensions

U.S. President Donald Trump will attend the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17, according to multiple White House confirmations. The G7, comprising Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union as a participant, will focus on key issues such as global trade, energy, technology, and stability. Trump’s attendance is notable given his controversial trade policies, including tariffs and suggestions that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state, which have strained U.S.-Canada relations. Security preparations for the summit include a controlled access zone around the venue with mandatory accreditation and temporary airspace restrictions to ensure safety. The summit will also address contentious topics such as trade tensions, particularly tariffs, and support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflicts. The event highlights ongoing challenges in global diplomacy as leaders seek consensus on economic and geopolitical matters.
