US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy plan to meet during the G7 summit taking place 15-17 June in Alberta, Canada, according to Axios sources.

The 51st G7 summit is being held in Kananaskis, a remote resort town in western Alberta that previously hosted a G8 summit in 2002. Along with Zelenskyy, Trump will also meet separately with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, according to a White House official cited by Axios.

The summit brings together leaders from the US, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Britain, with European Union representatives and other invited heads of state also attending. First-time participants include German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.

Trump’s attendance comes amid heightened tensions with Canada following months of statements expressing interest in annexing the country and imposing tariffs in what has been characterized as a trade war.

During their White House meeting last month, Carney reportedly made clear to Trump that Canada has no interest in becoming the 51st US state.

On 14 June 2025,  President Trump also held a 50-minute phone call with Putin during which the Russian president warmly wished Trump a happy 79th birthday. They mainly discussed the escalating conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Iran, and postponed the talks about the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump revealed that Putin informed him Russia is ready to resume peace negotiations with Ukraine, while the US president reiterated his interest in a speedy resolution to the conflict.
