G7 foreign ministers are meeting against the ever-changing landscape of President Trump’s policies, and there's no better example of his administration's impact than in the host country: Canada. Which is still reeling from the shock of its neighbor starting a full-blown trade war. Meantime, Europe faces a triple whammy: Trump tariffs, plus the shockwaves of suddenly being forced to fend for themselves, plus Ukraine’s fight for survival. On Ukraine, Russian President Putin says he supports 'the proposal to cease hostilities’ but has 'reservations'. Kaja Kallas is the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and was Estonia’s Prime Minister until last year. She joined the program from Quebec where the G7 is taking place.

President Trump's on-again, off-again tariffs have prompted Canadian store owners to take American products off the shelves, and sports fans are booing the US national anthem. Canadians are also outraged by Trump's repeated taunt to make their country the 51st state, and there are even reports the US might kick it out of the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance. To discuss all this, Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly joins the show from Toronto.

The Trump administration is pausing all shipments of military aid to Ukraine, potentially crippling the country's war effort against an invading Russia. Concurrently, the White House is pausing offensive cyber operations against Moscow and even mulling sanctions relief. Joining the program to discuss is former NSC Director of European Affairs Alexander Vindman, who in 2019 blew the whistle on Trump's threat to suspend military aid to try to get Zelensky to investigate Hunter Biden. Vindman's new book "The Folly of Realism: How the West Deceived Itself About Russia and Betrayed Ukraine" could hardly be more timely.
