Working session on 16 June 2025

On 14 June, Canadian Prime Minister Carney and British Prime Minister Starmer held their bilateral meeting in Ottawa. On route to Ottawa, Starmer stated that "Canada is an independent, sovereign country and a much-valued member of the Commonwealth" in the wake of President Trump's threats to annex Canada as the 51st state. Upon arrival, Starmer had dinner with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at his official residence at Rideau Cottage, later the two watched a National Hockey League game between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers. They agreed to establish an Economic and Trade Working Group and to deepen the Trade Continuity Agreement, while Carney committed Canada to ratifying the UK's accession to CPTPP. The meeting was the first between two international leaders since Israel's strikes on Iran starting the 2025 Iran–Israel conflict; Starmer began a diplomatic push to try to de-escalate the Middle Eastern crisis.

US President Donald Trump with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, 16 June 2025

Following the outbreak of the Twelve-Day War, Trump stated that he needed to leave in order to control the United States's response to the conflict, which meant that he sidelined some scheduled meetings with world leaders.

On 16 June 2025, G7 leaders said in a statement: "We affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel. Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror."

From 11 to 12 November 2025, the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting was held at Niagara-on-the-Lake, and joint statement was issued. The joint statement showed their consensus on Ukraine and Sudan, but stayed away from contentious issues like the US military strikes on boats in the Caribbean and trade. They are increasing the economic costs to Russia and exploring measures against those who finance Russia's war efforts. Also, they raised alarm over China's military buildup and reiterated their resolve to create an alternative to its dominance in critical mineral supplies, and reaffirmed the importance of a Free and Open Indo-Pacific based on the rule of law.
