Chapters Peter Burgess COMMENTARY Peter Burgess Transcript 0:00 What did Carney need at the G7 uh katie what did mark hernie need to accomplish here the simple answer is do no harm and really make sure that he doesn't have additional challenges to deal with that he didn't have before the summit started and there's a couple of lenses you can sort of look at that through so from the canada us perspective um you know are there new problems that mark carney needs to deal with not that we're aware of they have this new 30-day deadline meant to sort of spark those conversations along so that seems to be moving along okay it doesn't seem there's any new fresh harm there but then when you take a step back and look at the broader aspect of this summit you know is there harm in the fact that these g7 leaders couldn't come together on some of the most critical issues that are affecting the world right now okay so why don't we take a look at at some of the things the prime minister's office has said that canada accomplished here so we are looking at uh a discussion about critical minerals and ai that was with the french president a plan to sign a shared security agreement with the japanese prime minister discussion to expand the canada eu trade uh trade free trade 1:02 relationship and $4.3 billion dollars in support for ukraine so murray can we pick up on on the ukraine funding there and and carney's meeting uh with president zullinsky how significant is Importance of support for Ukraine 1:13 that amount of money well $4.3 billion is nothing to sneeze at and we've got the normal military funding uh but we also have something interesting in the sense that the uh ukrainians are now going to get a $2.3 billion loan using the interest from frozen russian assets more sanctions which is what zalinski was asking for when he came here earlier today but significantly and this is the one part that jumps out at me was the uh the attempt to sanction russia's shadow tanker fleet that's very significant because it is becoming a major concern for the europeans who have been talking about possibly seizing those vessels and uh so the other aspect uh to the ukraine relationship was they were looking for 2:00 some kind of consensus for a strong statement and the prime minister during his news conference danced around that and you know there was suggestions that the us watered down the attempts and they put it in the chairs but there was no separate statement for ukraine which is significant and i'm sure it's something the ukrainians are going to notice absolutely um in terms of the Is the Canada-U.S. trade deadline real? 2:22 united states katie uh the big announcement here right is this 30-day deadline to reach a trade and security deal um mark carney said tonight that having a deadline is helpful to to focus negotiations you have covered a lot of trade negotiations is that deadline a real thing so it what mark carney said tonight is very much in line with what we reported earlier today and the sources have told myself as well as my colleagues at radio canada um that the canadians want this 30-day deadline as a way to sort of try to force the americans to to get serious about the negotiations what we are hearing is that the canadians and this is according to senior canadian government sources is that the canadians are coming to the 3:00 table they're making these specific offers with specific proposals uh they are generally received well by the americans but that the americans aren't sort of responding in kind they're not coming back with their own proposals and so the canadians really want to try and force things put a sense of urgency in there and with this make or break deadline for this it they hope it can sort of jumpst start things to get to toward a finish line okay well i mean we'll see on that uh at the very end of the closing news conference um mark harney sort of held held the room of reporters back a little bit to add a thought i i suppose a bit of a defense of the g7 we have that why don't we take Why Carney highlighted multi-lateral talks 3:36 a listen there is a great amount of direct dialogue and discussion very frank exchanges very strategic exchanges um differences of opinion on a number of issues but from a from a from a an effort to find common solutions um to some of these problems and that is particularly valuable in my opinion 4:02 so he he added something interesting there that um multilateralism is under great strain if you will so so murray curious as as the united states sort of recedes in a way is the g7 u and i suppose other bodies like it more important to other countries well g7 is under strain there's uh the united states only stuck around for half of the summit and multilateralism is not dead it is under strain but multilateralism only works if the united states is rowing with its allies at the same time and perhaps not even rowing against it so this is the thing i think that we all have to watch coming out of this particular summit is how the allied nations get together perhaps in smaller groups and try to move the ball forward on key issues such as ukraine um how much progress they're going to make 5:00 without the backing of the united states is really up in the air and i mean there have been uh papers and international experts who've suggested that maybe it's time to reform the g7 into something like the g6 without the united states which is uh which is something that uh a lot of people particularly in the institutions uh of the different governments are opposed to they still find that it's important to try and find common ground with the united states so you know we're talking we have been talking about donald trump leaving early um what's your sense just listening to Does the G7 matter to Trump? 5:35 what marie's saying about how important others perceive the united states to be how important do you think donald trump perceives the g7 to be the attitude coming from the white house is it's america first baby and nothing else really matters and that is the attitude that sort of shapes all of the foreign policy decisions all of the economic divisions and and donald trump views himself as a disruptor and all of this is in line with how the white house is trying to reshape uh the way the world 6:02 works to make it more favorable for terms for america uh we've seen it a lot uh when it comes to uh trade and we're seeing it a lot now when it comes to support for institutions and and you know the united states feeling it's done too much for too long not enough people have kept up and they want that to change and so all of this sort of uh speaks to the fact that this is a donald trump america first agenda they are not apologetic for it and they are pushing ahead and want to see further change the question is are these other g7 countries are these other countries that are allies of the united states that work together to try and row in the same direction and try to achieve uh common outcomes um are they going to get in line with the united states because they're going to row in one direction and it's up to everyone else to get in line well they're going to have a chance to talk pretty soon right there's this nato conference coming up next week this What to watch for at NATO summit one's done nato is next um after prime minister mark carney announced that canada will meet its defense spending target soon what do you think marie we should be watching for at that nato summit well the debate is going to be 7:01 about 5% canada's going to come into the room and say 'hey we've made 2%.' and now the benchmark is going to be 3.5 for military spending and 1.5 for defense infrastructure so it's going to be interesting to see how that debate goes with among allies but uh but also among canadian officials because it's been a struggle to get to 2% right and now the bar is moving all right murray katie as always thanks very much you two thanks welcome [Music]
