G7 leaders gather to address the intensifying global fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, tackling soaring inflation, looming food and energy crises, and the threat of recession.
The summit aims to reinforce emphatic backing for Ukraine, increase costs and consequences for Russia through sanctions, and strategically minimize the economic impact of rising oil prices.
Leaders will also confront challenges posed by China as a systemic rival and seek to broaden global alliances by inviting non-G7 nations to collectively address critical issues like the escalating hunger crisis.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
