Trade tensions, wars and Asia’s rise are testing the influence and unity of the Group of Seven (G7).
For nearly half a century, the Group of Seven (G7) has helped shape the global order.

This week, G7 leaders meet for their annual summit in the French lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains, as wars rage in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Trade tensions are growing. Decades-long alliances are under strain. And questions are mounting about the institutions that have underpinned the post-World War II order.
