Ishiba traveled to the G7 summit in Canada hoping a direct appeal might get talks back on track after Japanese negotiators struggled to secure respite on a 25% tariff imposed on imported cars, according to two officials with knowledge of the matter.

President Donald Trump departed the G7 summit early. Why? Because a 5-day conflict between Iran and Israel is deepening. Trump went to Situation Room

It only took a few hours of summitry in the Canadian woods on Monday for President Donald Trump to decide he’d rather be elsewhere.

Prime Minister Carney made his closing remarks Tuesday evening, drawing an end to the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta. Carney says progress has been made over the last two days with G7 nations agreeing ‘to move forward in co-operation on several key priorities’ including critical mineral supply chains and addressing foreign interference.

This year's summit in Canada did not go as planned, but leaders of the world's wealthiest nations still secured some wins.

Japanese premier Shigeru Ishiba's bid to get U.S. President Donald Trump to relax tariffs imperiling his country's economy and his political future fell flat this week, underlining the gulf between the allies as more levies are set to kick in.

The remaining G7 leaders are meeting in Canada after Trump cut short his visit due to events in the Middle East.
