The unpredictability of United States foreign policy also creates uncertainty for international trade and alliances, potentially affecting market stability.
Foreign ministers from the G7 (G7) nations are meeting in France amidst ongoing wars in Iran and Ukraine, economic uncertainty, and growing concerns over the unpredictable foreign policy of the United States, especially since Donald Trump's return to the presidency in 2025.
