Local time on June 16, the 51st G7 Summit opened in Canmore, Canada. The mainstream Canadian media "National Post" noticed that when US President Donald Trump attended the welcome ceremony hosted by Canadian Prime Minister Carrie on the same day, he wore a lapel pin with the pattern of the US-Canada flag on his suit lapel.
That day, Trump wore two lapel pins on the left lapel of his suit: the first pin had the pattern of the American flag, while the second pin below it featured both the American and Canadian flags.

The National Post also pointed out that Trump wore this pin during his bilateral meeting with Trudeau earlier that morning. Earlier that morning, during his meeting with Trudeau, Trump showed a softer attitude, praising that "we have built an excellent relationship."
In addition, US Secretary of State Rubio and US Treasury Secretary Besant, who also attended the summit on the 16th, wore a maple leaf badge symbolizing the Canadian flag.

A spokesperson for the Office of the Canadian Prime Minister, Emily Williams, responded to the National Post, saying that these badges were not gifts from the Canadian side to the US delegation.
The National Post analyzed that this might be the first time Trump has worn a piece of jewelry featuring the flag of another country: he did not wear similar items during his meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Canadian Prime Minister Carrie.
The report noted that the pin Trump wore "may signal that relations between the two countries are warming." However, the National Post seemed reluctant to make any hasty conclusions about this unpredictable leader, adding that "this pin may also indicate that Trump believes that if Canada and the United States could unite - more precisely, act as one nation - it would be better."
Since Trump's re-entry into the White House, he has repeatedly publicly claimed that he wants Canada to become the "51st state of the United States," calling former Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau the "governor," which caused dissatisfaction among the Canadians, leading to continuous friction between the two countries over the past few months.
In May this year, during his visit to the United States and his meeting with Trump, newly appointed Canadian Prime Minister Carrie was told by Trump that he wanted Canada to become the "51st state of the United States." At that time, Carrie responded strongly, saying that some things will never change. Trump then replied, "Time will tell, it's just a matter of time, never say never."
