When leaders from seven of the major industrial countries, known as the G7, meet in Canada, it will likely be the G6 and the United States. Canada’s finance minister Bill Morneau says the focus of the meeting will be on trade, especially what he has called U.S. President Donald Trump’s “absurd” tariffs. Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain and the U.S. make up the Group of Seven. The group meets yearly to discuss issues like the international economy and security. Last week, Trump announced the U.S. would put tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico, and the European Union. Trump called the tariffs part of fair and reciprocal trade. But Morneau says he expects the G7 will continue to try to pressure the U.S. to reconsider.
