World leaders gathered for the G7 summit on June 16 and 17 in Alberta, Canada. Seven wealthy countries sent their top officials to discuss money matters and trade deals. The meeting happened during major global conflicts and economic troubles. Everyone hoped the summit would produce important agreements between the rich nations. Trump walked out early after signing one paper about Middle East peace.
The Group of Seven started back in 1975 with six countries working together on economic issues. Canada joined the club one year later to make it seven members. Russia became part of the group for fifteen years but got kicked out after taking over Crimea. The United States has always led the organization since it began fifty years ago. Trump caused problems at the 2018 summit and created drama again this time around.
Trump and French President Macron disagree about the Israel situation completely. Macron wants Palestine to become its separate country with full independence. The American leader refuses to support the two-state solution anymore. European officials also feel angry about Trump asking Putin to help with Middle East problems. The Russia-Ukraine war continues despite Trump promising to stop it during his campaign.
The summit failed to create any major trade agreements or economic partnerships. Trump threatens his allies with tariffs just like he does with China. Other G7 members worry about America turning against them economically. The organization looks more like a fighting club than a cooperation group these days.
