When President Donald Trump welcomes his new Canadian counterpart to the White House on Tuesday, among the questions looming over their Oval Office encounter will be whether Trump will agree to attend a major summit Prime Minister Mark Carney is hosting next month in Alberta. Trump and his aides have not made a final decision on attending the Group of 7 meeting in Kananaskis scheduled for mid-June, according to three US officials familiar with the matter. American presidents have long attended the yearly conference of the advanced economies, and skipping it would amount to a major step away from the alliance system Trump has openly disregarded since taking office. For Carney, Tuesday’s high-stakes meeting will provide a chance to discuss the G7 along with a host of cross-border issues that have caused US-Canada ties to collapse since Trump took office. “Canada has never taken for granted the fact that President Trump would attend the G7,” a Canadian government official told CNN ahead of the meeting, adding a successful G7 summit with all members in attendance remains a priority for Canada. Tuesday’s meeting at the White House, Canadian officials believe, will be the strongest indicator of whether Trump is likely to attend. Trump’s ongoing trade war and threats to Canada’s sovereignty played major roles in the national election that propelled Carney’s Liberal Party to victory last month. The new prime minister has said the new Trump era amounts to an end to the old relationship between the neighboring countries. He’s called for a reassessment of trade and security ties amid the threats from the White House.
