💨 Abstract

G7 finance leaders aim for unity on non-tariff issues at their meeting in Canada. However, reaching consensus with the Trump administration, which pushes U.S. interests, may prove challenging. The six other G7 members want to prevent fractures due to Trump's tariffs, climate change reversals, and stance on Ukraine. The communique may need vague language due to disagreements on tariffs and climate change. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will lead the U.S. delegation.
