Gathering of ‘weakest’ leaders in G7
A report by American media Politico has described the leaders gathered at the G7 summit as the ‘weakest gathering’ so far. The report said that most of the leaders gathered here are struggling with some domestic crisis or are not in a position to win the election next time.
President Joe Biden’s party is continuously lagging behind in America. Before the election, the atmosphere here seems to be building in favor of former President Donald Trump. Although he has been proven guilty of paying money to keep quiet, the number of his fans is increasing.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s performance has weakened in Germany. The right-wing party ADF is becoming stronger there. This time ADF has got 6 seats in the EU elections. This has pushed Chancellor Scholz’s party to the third position. Scholz’s party has lost 2 seats. After a poor performance in the European elections, President Emmanuel Macron has dissolved the Parliament in France. In Britain, Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party is in a very bad condition and is trailing the Labor Party by 20 points in the survey. Amidst falling ratings, Sunak has already conducted elections in the country. The credibility of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau and his Labor Party, which is a part of the G7, is continuously weakening in the country. Elections are to be held in Canada next year. In such a situation, Trudeau’s return seems difficult. In a recent interview, Trudeau has admitted that he was thinking of retiring from politics but he did not think it right to leave the party in the lurch. Fumio Keshia’s condition in Japan is also not very good. His approval rating is continuously falling. This time in June, his approval rating has fallen by 2.3% and it remains at 16.5%. This is the worst situation of any top leader of the ruling party LDP in the last 12 years.

It has banned Russian ships. The US signed a 10-year security agreement with Ukraine According to the New York Times, this time the agenda of the G7 countries is Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas war. US President Joe Biden has signed a 10-year security agreement with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This agreement will play an important role in the war against Russia. This deal will act as a bridge in this. A special thing about this deal is that it is not binding on future US presidents. That is, if someone else becomes the President of America in the future, then he will also have the right to cancel this deal. However, Zelensky expressed hope that the future US President will also support him and this deal will continue. He said that the Chinese leadership has assured him that they will not give weapons to Russia even in future.
While Western countries are uniting against Russia in Italy, Russia’s nuclear submarine has reached Havana Harbor in America’s neighboring country Cuba for war practice. This place is just 367 kilometers away from Miami, America.
Is there an attempt to make India anti-China-Russia through the G7 meetings?
No. According to foreign affairs expert Professor Rajan Kumar, India’s foreign policy is quite clear.
India also cooperates with western countries. India has good economic relations with western countries. These countries are also democratic like India.
At the same time, most of India’s skilled workers go to America for work and studies. Despite this, India does not come under the pressure of America.
Apart from this, India is also not included in the policy of America and western countries of sanctions i.e. imposing restrictions on other countries.
