BANFF, Altaโ€“Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump are scheduled to meet Monday morning ahead of the formal G7 leadersโ€™ session in Kananaskis, Alberta.

The two leaders will meet at 9 a.m. local time, the Prime Ministerโ€™s Office confirmed to the media. Both are scheduled to arrive in Alberta on June 15, with Carney expected to land in Calgary at 3:30 p.m. and Trump set to arrive later in the day. The G7 leadersโ€™ summit runs from June 15 to 17.

Carney and Trump have been in direct contact in recent months over trade and security issues. They held their first in-person meeting on May 6 in Washington, though no breakthrough was made on a new trade deal amid tariff tensions. Canada has been hit with three sets of tariffs by the Trump administration.

Carney met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Ottawa on the morning of June 15 before flying to Calgary. There, he is set to meet one-on-one with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the afternoon, followed by a meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, before heading to Kananaskis.

Then, Carney will meet with Germany Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the evening.

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, French President Emmanuel Macron, president of the European Commission Ursula Von Der Leyen, and president of the European Council Antonio Costa will also arrive on June 15, according to the available itinerary.

During their morning bilateral meeting on June 15, Carney and Starmer discussed the importance of a โ€œfair, open and predictableโ€ global trading system and committed to supporting a โ€œrules-basedโ€ international order as well as advancing peace and trans-Atlantic security.

They also discussed geopolitical challenges such as tensions in the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific region along with the Russia-Ukraine war. These will likely be key topics at this yearโ€™s summit, along with trade tensions, heightened by U.S. tariffs.
