For the second year running, the recent G7 summit concluded without a shared final communiqué. This absence pointed to growing divisions among the member countries.

President Donald Trump sharply criticized the exclusion of Russia from the G7. He argued that Russia’s removal contributed to the conflict in Ukraine.

The G7, established as a platform for global policy coordination, has functioned for over five decades. Despite its long-standing role, experts are increasingly questioning the group’s effectiveness and relevance in the current global landscape.
