On the final day of the G7 Summit in Canada, six of the Group of Seven leaders were trying to show the wealthy nations' club still had the clout to shape world events despite the early departure of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney held bilateral meetings with his G7 counterparts and later today Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO chief Mark Rutte will arrive to discuss Russia's war with Ukraine.

Before U.S. President Donald Trump left the G7 summit he and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke with reporters about their trade deal.
U.S. President Donald Trump said. "It's a fair deal for both. It'll produce a lot of jobs, a lot of income. And we have many, many other ones coming. But you see the level of enthusiasm is very good. But the relationship that we have is fantastic. So I just wanna congratulate you."
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: "This now implements on car tariffs and aerospace, a really important agreement. And so this is a very good day for both of our countries, a real sign of strength. So thank you again, Donald, a really important day for both of us."
Trump managed to pose for a family photo with the other leaders before leaving. It wasn't clear why Trump left early but he wrote on social media Monday night before returning to Washington that "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!"
Trump later denied reports that he had rushed back to Washington to work on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, saying his early departure "has nothing to do with a cease fire." Adding, "Much bigger than that," without elaborating.
Meanwhile G7 host Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had bilateral meetings with other leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron. The pair talked up the bilateral relationship between France and Canada amid "crises and wars" which were taking place around the world.
Carney and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni sat for a meeting on the sidelines. Meloni said Canada and Italy "are historically two very good allies and friends" and that her government had been working "to strengthen those ties."
Carney and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba talked about their strong tiesas they continue to grow in everything from liquefied natural gas to the future of hydrogen, critical minerals and a wide range of shared values and interests in promoting peace and security in the world.
