Participants in the Group of Seven (G7) summit, which will be held on 15-17 June in Canada, may refuse to adopt a joint statement from the outset in order not to highlight the differences between US President Donald Trump and other leaders of the group.
According to Report, citing the Japanese economic newspaper Nikkei, there are currently no discussions on the draft document.
Instead of a single statement, according to its sources, seven separate documents are expected to be adopted. They will focus on cooperation, particularly in the areas of minerals, artificial intelligence, infrastructure and migration issues. It is also expected that issues of world trade or relations with Russia will not be addressed, as there are insurmountable differences of opinion between Trump and other leaders on these issues, according to the publication.
The newspaper recalls that participants in the G7 summits in 2018 and 2019 during Trump’s first presidential term faced major problems in their attempts to adopt joint statements.
