Despite the discord, the G7 members managed to issue a joint statement expressing support for Ukraine and a U.S. ceasefire proposal in the ongoing conflict with Russia. The communique reaffirmed the G7's commitment to Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence, urging Russia to reciprocate by agreeing to a ceasefire on equal terms. The diplomats also discussed potential further sanctions on Russia and additional support for Ukraine should Russia fail to respect a ceasefire.

Trump's policies and comments about Canada becoming the 51st state were a focal point of concern among the allies. Many countries, particularly Japan, appealed to the U.S. to spare them from harsh trade treatment. Canada asserted its sovereignty amid Trump's remarks, with Foreign Minister Joly emphasizing that the issue was not up for debate.

The G7 summit highlighted persistent disagreements over trade and Trump's comments on Canada, even as members united to support Ukraine. Such friction within established alliances signals a shift in traditional diplomatic relationships and the emergence of new global priorities.
