The Trump Tariffs, the war in Ukraine and Israel's war in Gaza are all casting a long shadow over this years G7 summit, being held this week in Canada.

The G7 was formed more than fifty years ago, in 1973, as a platform for the world’s advanced economies to align on the economic and geopolitical challenges of the day.

2024 shapes as the most challenging year the summit has faced, since it was first held in 1973.
