At the G7 summit in Canada, President Trump made waves by claiming that Iran isn’t "winning" in its regional conflicts and arguing that kicking Russia out of the G8 (now G7) was a misstep—implying it might have avoided the Ukraine war. He also floated the idea of bringing China into future talks, stressing dialogue over isolation. The remarks came as leaders gathered to tackle crises in Ukraine and the Middle East, highlighting Trump’s unorthodox approach to global alliances.
Editor’s Note: Trump’s comments aren’t just off-the-cuff remarks—they signal a potential shift in how the U.S. views major powers like Russia and China. By questioning past decisions and pushing for inclusivity (even with adversarial nations), he’s challenging the status quo of Western diplomacy. Whether you agree or not, it’s a reminder that global power dynamics are fluid, and today’s rivals could be tomorrow’s negotiating partners. For allies, that’s either refreshing or unsettling, depending on who you ask.
