Economic imbalances, conflicts, energy crisis to top agenda at G7 summit
Economic imbalances, China, the energy crisis and evolving conflicts are expected to dominate this year’s G7 leaders’ summit. It gets underway in France on Jun 15, with the US, Canada, Japan, the UK, France, Germany and Italy all attending. But this year, US President Donald Trump’s disruptive approach to world affairs has created new crises for the group, at a time when differences of opinion are making it harder to act collectively. Nick Harper reports for CNA from Washington.
