The Group of Seven wealthy nations will meet on Monday in the French lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains to discuss wars in Ukraine and Iran, global economic imbalances that threaten financial stability, and the irrepressible rise of AI.
In its 50-year history, the G7 has faced geopolitical catastrophes, from the 1970s oil crisis to the global fallout from U.S. President Donald Trump's military strikes against Iran - as well as questions about its role as multilateralism falters and other countries' economic and political power grows.
