The Group of Seven summit is opening in Canada with a focus on trade, wars — and not riling Trump .

If there is a shared mission at this year ’s G7 summit, it is a desire to minimize any fireworks at a moment of combustible tensions.

This time, Trump already has hit several dozen nations with severe tariffs that risk a global economic slowdown.

The United Kingdom reached a trade framework with the U.S. that included quotas to protect against some tariffs.

Canada and Mexico face separate tariffs of as much as 25% that Trump put into place under the auspices of stopping fentanyl smuggling.

Canada 's Carney has been outspoken in saying his country can no longer look to the United States as an enduring friend.
