President Donald Trump will attend a summit of Group of Seven leaders in Canada next month, the White House said on Thursday (May 22), in a visit to a country that he has urged to become the 51st US state.

“President Trump will travel to the G7 leaders’ summit in Canada from June 15 through the 17th,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a daily briefing. More details of his visit will be announced shortly, Leavitt said.

Over the past few months, relations between US-Canada relations have been marked by problems, fuelled by Trump’s repeated calls for Canada to join the United States and his imposition of implementing tariffs. However, the relations showed signs of positivity after newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visited the White House in May 2025, after he won the elections in April.
