President Donald Trump arrives in Canada as the center of attention for a Group of Seven summit of world leaders whose main purpose will be to mollify him — and one where spiraling conflict in the Middle East offers another test of its unity.
Trump was traveling Sunday night to Kananaskis, Alberta, for the first big international summit of his second term. Wary of opening new rifts with the US president, other G-7 leaders won’t even try for a statement of unity on matters such as Ukraine or climate change.
