Trade on the Agenda at the G7 Summit

World leaders are in Alberta, Canada for the G7 Summit and trade is expected to be a big part of the discussion. In comments made to reporters last night, Trump downplayed the significance of any trade negotiations. “We’ll have our trade deals, all we have to do is send a letter (saying) this is what you’re going to have to pay, but I think we’ll have a few new trade deals.” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney invited Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to attend the G7 meeting, even though Mexico isn’t one of the G7 countries. With the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement up for a review next year, this is seen as a way to jump-start those talks.
