The G7, consisting of Germany, France, Britain, Italy, Japan, Canada, and the US, traditionally focuses on economic stability, climate change, and geopolitical conflicts. The 2023 summit in Canada is no exception, with leaders discussing trade agreements, tariffs, and disputes among member countries.
As tensions between the US and its allies grow, particularly over the Ukraine conflict and Middle East peace negotiations, the G7 has become an arena for diplomatic maneuvering. The 2023 summit will likely see heated discussions on these issues, with many leaders crying for unity in the face of increased global instability.

With President Trump's unpredictable behavior, the outcome of the summit is hard to predict. His erratic actions have caused tension within the group, with some leaders bracing themselves for another outburst similar to the 2018 summit.
To counter this, the G7 has changed its approach, focusing on theme-specific statements instead of a single comprehensive declaration. This allows for more flexibility in discussions without sacrificing the unity of the group. Nevertheless, the future of the G7 remains uncertain, with the potential for deepening divisions given the complex geopolitical landscape in which it operates.
