Wars, trade and AI: How G7 summit can matter

France is hosting this year's G7 Summit, which kicks off on Monday. According to the official agenda, reducing global imbalances is a top priority. The summit comes at a critical moment: global governance is under strain on multiple fronts, while the transatlantic rift over trade and defense continues to widen. At the same time, middle powers are playing an increasingly influential role in global affairs. Taking place ahead of the G20 and APEC meetings, this summit offers a glimpse into whether traditional Western alliances still hold. The key question: Can the G7 turn its agenda into action?

Guests: In Washington DC, Charles A Kupchan, Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations In Washington DC, US, Sourabh Gupta, Senior Asia-Pacific International Relations Policy Specialist In Tokyo, Benoit Hardy-Chartrand, Faculty Lecturer from the Temple University Japan In Beijing, Liu Mingli, Research Fellow at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relation
