G7

Image of the Week: This was decidedly one moment in front of the camera that Donald Trump did not own

Scott Gilmore: It’s become increasingly clear that U.S. power is not only absent under Trump, but unneeded. It is unlikely anyone will unlearn this lesson.

Scott Gilmore: The U.S. president is the badly behaved guest at the international table. As long as he’s around, nothing will get done.

Terry Glavin: The ‘rules based world order’ is so badly broken that it now seems hardly worth defending. And the trouble started before Trump.

Scott Gilmore: Here’s a list of companies owned by Trump and his family, as well as companies that sell Trump goods. Let’s hit him where it hurts, shall we?

Evan Solomon: The Quebec summit was a disaster and the irrational Trump now sees a trade war with Canada as not only a political win but a personal one.

Terry Glavin: Donald Trump and various intrigues will dominate the summit. What still deserves attention is the $1.3 billion plea to invest in women’s health and education.

Scott Gilmore: America has gone from bulwark of the western alliance to a threat. It’s time for a strategy to contain the U.S. and defend ourselves.
