G-7 Summit: Carney Flexes Economy-First Foreign Policy as G-7 Meets in Canada

As Mark Carney prepares to host world leaders at the Group of Seven summit in western Canada, he’s showing off a foreign policy that’s more hardheaded than that of Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau put climate change and progressive social values front and center, an approach that often led to clashes with other leaders. Carney has emphasized economic ties, hard power and alliances that would allow Canada to reduce its economic and security dependence on the US.
