What happens when a superpower walks away from the table?

At the 2025 G7 Summit in Alberta, US President Trump abruptly exited—but Canada didn’t wait. In a matter of hours, Prime Minister Mark Carney signed a defense pact with South Korea, announced a $544M development fund for Latin America, launched the Critical Minerals Alliance, and declared: “Nostalgia is not a strategy.”

In this detailed report, we uncover:
  • Why Canada stepped into Washington’s shoes
  • How the Carney-Lee defense deal reshaped Arctic-Pacific security
  • The significance of Ottawa's development push amid USAID cuts
  • Europe's reaction to Trump’s silence and the rise of a multipolar G7
  • The global response to Trump’s tariffs, from AI alliances to climate initiatives
Has a new diplomatic center of gravity emerged?

Is this the beginning of a “Post-US G7” era?
