World leaders meeting in Évian-les-Bains moved from the drama of a U.S.-Iran ceasefire toward the harder diplomatic work that follows: nuclear limits, sanctions relief, Russian oil pressure, and Ukraine’s plea for more air defences before another brutal winter.
The summit’s second day made clear how interconnected the crises have become. A secretive Iran framework has reopened energy-security calculations, Trump is again floating sanctions on Russian oil, Europe wants Washington to host Ukraine-Russia talks, and humanitarian emergencies from Sudan to migration corridors are competing for attention.
This week’s country feature examines Canada’s trade dependence, Arctic geography, energy resources, internal political pressures, and alliance role between the United States, Europe, and the Indo-Pacific.

The G7 summit in France shifted back toward Ukraine after the U.S.-Iran ceasefire lowered immediate fears over the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump signalled that sanctions on Russian oil could return, while allied leaders pressed for more air defences and broader pressure on Moscow after another wave of Russian attacks.
Trump said the new U.S.-Iran framework makes clear that Iran will not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, while acknowledging that the next phase of negotiations will test unresolved issues including uranium enrichment, sanctions relief and verification.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said G7 leaders agreed Russia is not winning and discussed additional sanctions targeting energy exports, banks and military production. Kyiv is also seeking more Patriot systems and long-term missile-production capacity.
European leaders used the G7 meetings to press Washington to take a direct role in any Ukraine-Russia talks. The appeal reflects a growing view that sanctions and air defence support must be paired with a credible diplomatic channel before winter.
The summit also highlighted the economic spillovers of crisis diplomacy, with leaders weighing energy security after the Hormuz disruption, congressional scrutiny of the Iran deal, and protests over inequality and the legitimacy of elite global forums.
