In an exclusive interview at the 2025 G7 summit in Canada, Professor John Kirton discusses the key issues on the table, from the Israel-Iran conflict to Donald Trump's tariffs, nuclear threats, and the evolving India-Canada relations.

U.S. President Donald Trump was greeted by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith upon arrival in Alberta, the two having previously met on her Mar-a-Lago visit. A May poll showed 51 per cent of Albertans want Smith’s government to prepare a plan to pursue complete independence from both Canada and the U.S.

The G7 Summit returns to Canada with a packed agenda and high political drama. With world leaders gathered in Alberta, here's why all eyes are on

BANFF, Alta. — The heads of the world’s richest economies are converging on Alberta today for one of the most high-stakes G7 meetings in recent memory amid a U.S.-led global tariff war and the growing crisis in the Middle East.

It’s a tableau no world leader — except perhaps President Donald Trump — wants to repeat. Convening in the Canadian Rockies for this week’s Group of 7 summit, presidents and prime ministers are hoping to avoid the acrimony that pervaded the last time this country played host to the world’s most exclusive club.

India is also a leading member of BRICS -- a bloc of leading emerging economies that includes Russia and China. BRICS has growing economic clout and is increasingly seen as a G7 rival.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he will soon be back in Washington from the Group of Seven nations’ summit held in Canada due to the situation in the Middle East where the conflict between Iran and Israel has escalated.
