What to know about the G7 summit Trump is attending

When and where is the 2025 G7 summit?

The 51st summit is taking place from Sunday to Tuesday in the western Canadian province of Alberta.

• It will be held in the remote resort town of Kananaskis, which previously hosted a G8 summit in 2002.

Who will attend the G7 summit?

The G7 includes leaders from the U.S., Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Britain.

• European Union representatives also typically attend, along with other heads of state who aren't a part of the G7 but who have been invited by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
• A White House official said late Sunday that Trump will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum during the summit. Zelensky and Trump's last in-person meeting was during Pope Francis' funeral in April.
• First-timers will include German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.

Canada and U.S. tensions

Trump is traveling to Canada after repeatedly threatening the northern neighbor's sovereignty.

• He for months expressed interest in annexing Canada and has engaged the allied nation in a tariff war.
• Carney made clear to Trump during their White House meeting last month that Canada has no interest in becoming the 51st state of the U.S.

Flashback: During his first term, Trump blew up the G7 meeting in 2018, which was also held in Canada, tearing up an agreement reached by the world leaders.

• Trump lashed out at then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on his social media after leaving the summit, calling him "very dishonest and week."
