    The Israel/Iran Conflict is not on the agenda as Trump refused to sign the G7 Statement for good reasons:

    Trump Says Trade Will Be 'Our Primary Focus' of G7 Summit

    Trade will be the focus of the summit:

    At the top of his remarks, Trump emphasized that his trade team, including U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, was with him in Alberta for the Summit.

    “We have a whole group of people, some traders and some other people. I see my top economy people, but we have a very talented group of people, and you do too, and I know they work together very well,” Trump told Carney.

    The other world leaders at the meetings are Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

    So instead of addressing the most pressing global conflict, the other world leaders have to patiently take turns trying to explain to Trump what a trade deficit means and how tariffs work. If they can pull that off then I suppose it's a good idea.

    What do you expect? I suppose you want Trump to give Iran the entire military game plan? Yeah... brilliant. Trump said what he had to say, which was that Iran cannot ever have a nuke.

    This is one issue I have no problem pulling up the ladder behind us. In my world I would Thanos snap them all away, but barring that containing nukes to the current nuclear powers is the best we can hope for.

    Last I checked, Iran isn't in the G7 so I don't think that will be an issue. Might be a good idea to align amongst your allies on how best to prevent them getting a nuke though. Hope isn't a plan.

    Since DJT is leaving the G7 a day early, there will be a full slate of meetings without him. Hardly what I call setting the agenda -- now the other members can freely discuss world security and economic matters without U.S. input and interference.

    Too late. That drunkard Hegseth already Tweetted it to the Revolutionary Guard members by mistake after firing that last 3 competent people left in the Pentagon and then passing out in the lobby.

    Some Trump supporter please explain this to me. Does he purposely lie thinking no one will check, is he old and confused (see Biden, Joe) or what else? While at G7, he said:

    “Speaking of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump claimed Monday: “He was thrown out – by Trudeau, who convinced one or two people, along with Obama. He was thrown out.”

    Truth is Trudeau did not become Canada’s prime minister until November 2015 – more than 19 months after Russia’s 2014 ouster from the Group of 8

    Trump erroneously described his trade deal with the UK as a deal with the European Union, which the UK does not belong to.

    Trump spoke other obvious “misstatements” but these stood out to me.

    Did you really expect Israel to take out the nuke sites without or bunker-buster bombs? In this Iran-Israeli war there was always a time that "critical mass" would be achieved. It's time to take the nuke sites out. No more pretending...

    trump really sides with Putin and concerned how the g7 "insulted" him. What’s trumps deal with Putin? Even before Russia invaded Ukraine trump kowtowed to him - why??

    Do you think he's deliberately lying, or he just knows absolutely nothing?

    Trump then twice repeated his long-debunked assertion that former President Joe Biden had given “$350 billion” in aid to Ukraine.

    Trump repeated his frequent assertion that “Biden allowed 21 million people to come into our country.”
