G7 Summit Exposes Deep Divisions Over Crises

The 2025 G7 Summit in Canada, hosted by Prime Minister Mark Carney, was dominated by the escalating Israel-Iran conflict and growing nuclear threats. President Trump left the summit early, urging the evacuation of Tehran, which emphasized divisions among leaders over strategies toward Iran and Russia's possible return to the G7. The group issued a joint statement condemning Iran's nuclear ambitions and supporting Israel's right to self-defense, but internal disagreements remained over continued military aid to Ukraine and trade tensions caused by U.S. tariffs. Prime Minister Modi attended his first visit to Canada in a decade, signaling efforts to repair India-Canada relations. Meanwhile, global markets were volatile, with the conflict impacting oil prices and complicating the U.S. Federal Reserve’s monetary policy. The summit ended with significant divisions exposed among world leaders amid global uncertainty.
