Trump exits unexpectedly from the 2025 G7 Summit, causing a stir in the media
The anticipated bilateral meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum at the 2025 G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, was canceled and never took place. Instead, their interactions occurred primarily via regular phone calls. The in-person meeting was reportedly "scuttled" or called off before the summit, though the specific reason for the cancellation is not explicitly detailed in the sources.
Despite the canceled face-to-face meeting, Trump and Sheinbaum maintained a working relationship through frequent phone discussions. They cooperated on border security and drug trafficking issues, which improved diplomatic rapport between them. Sheinbaum was involved in efforts to mitigate illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking, actions that gained some respect from Trump and his administration.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with President Sheinbaum at the G7 summit and planned a follow-up meeting in Mexico in September 2025 to address trade issues, especially those related to the U.S. tariffs under Trump’s administration.
This context suggests that diplomatic and trade complexities, including U.S. tariffs and broader trade disputes during 2025, contributed to a challenging environment that likely influenced the cancellation of the planned Trump-Sheinbaum bilateral meeting. The incident has sparked debate over diplomatic priorities and the balance between global crises and regional partnerships.
It is also worth noting that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum was not invited to attend Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20. The phone call between Trump and Sheinbaum marks the first direct communication between the two leaders since Sheinbaum took office. Meanwhile, the 50 cyclists embarked on an epic journey across Mexico, from Piedras Negras to Chetumal, were unaffected by the political developments.
