Long treated as a photo opportunity for the leaders of Western democracies, the G7 has had a new lease of life ever since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. With so many G20 members at each other’s throats, the G7  has proved to be a useful vehicle to align against military aggression and the economic threats to Western business and technological primacy.
At this weekend’s Summit, G7 leaders will issue a stinging critique of China’s trade practices, following the announcement of new EV tariffs levied by the European Commission on Wednesday. Simon Evenett, Ana Elena Sancho Calvino, and Fernando Martín Espejo from the St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity Through Trade join IMD to discuss them.
