Canada's Carney says no bilateral G7 meeting with Trump, but denies snub

Canada’s finance minister Chrystia Carney confirmed she will not hold a bilateral meeting with President Trump at the G7 summit. The decision was explained as a scheduling matter rather than a diplomatic slight. Carney emphasized that the lack of a private meeting does not constitute a snub. She noted that Canada will continue to engage with the United States on economic issues. The G7 agenda includes discussions on trade, climate and global finance. Officials said the summit will feature multilateral sessions involving all members. The stance reflects Canada’s focus on collective negotiations. Observers will monitor how U.S.–Canada relations evolve during the summit.
