G7 Summit: Why Is Britain's PM At Trump's Feet?

The presidents of the United States and France, the prime ministers of Britain, Canada, Italy and Japan, the German chancellor and the heads of the European Council and European Union met in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada for the 51st G7 Summit on Monday, June 16, 2025.

These photographs were taken before the star attraction -- one Donald John Trump -- left the summit on Monday evening and headed back to the White House to try and end the Iran-Israel conflict before it spiralled out of control.
