G7 summit in Canada: Trump does not explain a joint explanation!
At the upcoming G7 summit 2025, which will take place in the Rocky Mountains, Canada, the heads of state and government have decided to do without a comprehensive joint declaration. Instead, only selected explanations on specific topics are given, as France President Emmanuel Macron is more optimistic and sees progress in trade negotiations with the United States.
