Event Summary

G7 trade ministers met in Paris to discuss various global trade issues, including industrial overcapacity, economic security, critical minerals, and e-commerce. While not formally on the agenda, Donald Trump's recent threat to hike US tariffs on cars and trucks from the European Union was a significant backdrop. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and European Union Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič were expected to meet separately to address this. The meeting also touched upon the paralysis of the World Trade Organization and the global economic impact of the Strait of Hormuz closure.
