Reference News website reported on June 17 that The New York Times website published an article titled "Trump Returns to the G7, and the Rift between the United States and its Allies Deepens" on June 15. The main content is compiled as follows: When President Trump attended the G7 meeting held in Canada last time, he seemed out of place in many ways. At the 2018 meeting, Trump called for the Western alliance to embrace Russia, which angered allies. He also started a trade war by imposing metal tariffs on Canada and left angrily in the end. On June 15, he returned to Alberta to attend the G7 summit, but these rifts have deepened further. Since being re-elected, Trump has threatened to annex Canada, the host of this summit, after launching a larger-scale trade war. This week's G7 summit is the 50th such summit. This summit is usually a platform for U.S. presidents to use allies and partners to advance their agenda and demonstrate leadership on major global issues. However, world leaders seem ready to accept Trump's shift away from global partnerships. Canadian officials said they were not hopeful about issuing a joint statement. Traditionally, leaders issue statements at the end of such meetings. But shortly after the joint statement was released at last year's summit, Trump said he would not accept it. "G7 represents not only the largest economic group in the world but also a set of shared values, which Trump may not necessarily agree with," said Rachel Rizzo, senior researcher at the Atlantic Council's Europe Center. In addition to trade, the Ukraine conflict is likely to become another point of contention at this summit. European allies are united in supporting Ukraine, but Trump has expressed unwillingness to continue to be involved in the war and mocked multilateral organizations like NATO. Michael Froman, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, said that Trump's approach to dealing with the world is completely different from his predecessors. "Currently, we are fighting alone on some of these issues," Froman said.
