Overview

  • The summit opened June 15 in Kananaskis with member states grappling with President Trump’s sweeping tariffs and an escalating Israel-Iran conflict
  • President Trump will meet Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Tuesday to press Australia for tariff relief and support for the AUKUS submarine pact
  • Host Prime Minister Mark Carney has shifted from a joint communique to targeted leader statements to navigate policy rifts over trade, energy and security
  • Invited non-members including President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are taking part in expanded talks on Ukraine’s defense, critical mineral supply chains and AI governance
  • While energy security and supply-chain resilience remain on the agenda, de-escalation efforts in the Middle East and fallout from US trade measures are dominating discussions
