In Alberta, Canada, President Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on the sidelines of the G7 summit, ahead of its first session Monday.
In their second meeting in as many months, coming amid elevated tensions caused by Trump’s tariffs on Canada and his references to the nation as the 51st U.S. state, Trump said they would talk “about trade and many other things.” Carney later said the meeting was “fantastic.”
Speaking to the press at the start of the summit, Trump criticized Russia’s exclusion from the G7, calling it “a very big mistake” and suggesting Russia’s presence may have prevented the war with Ukraine. He dodged a question on the situation between Israel and Iran.
Trump is also expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum while at the G7.
