All eyes on Donald Trump: Leaders' guide for G7 summit in Kananaskis
Article content What he wants to avoid: Anything that might upset the U.K.-U.S. trade deal which is still to be implemented. Starmer wants the accord to come into force as soon as possible so that the U.K. doesn't run the risk of falling victim to future tariff threats. He also wants to steer clear of an disputes between Trump and Carney, which the U.K. is liable to get sucked into because Canada is part of the British Commonwealth. Article content What he really fears: Getting caught at the scene of the crime. If Trump does something outrageous that would put Starmer in a bind: speak out and he risks retaliation from the White House, keep quiet and he could look weak at home. And the British press will be asking him to comment on whatever Trump does throughout. Article content Article content What she wants: Italy's prime minister just wants to get in and out of Banff unscathed. She has a good relationship with Trump and a good relationship her European colleagues and has no major policy goals for this meeting. With her domestic situation looking slightly delicate, her aim is to make sure nothing rocks the boat. Article content Article content What they want: The EU's two main representatives will be focused on Ukraine and on trade. They want to persuade Trump to drop his opposition to their plan to lower the price cap on Russian oil and they are also looking for the strongest backing that they can for Ukraine's future independence and military support, and clarity on global trade. Article content What they want to avoid: Any curveballs from Trump and his trade advisers that might throw their tariff negotiations off track. Article content What they really fear: A major blow-up before the NATO summit. European leaders will be treading on eggshells until they have secured Trump's renewed commitment to defend NATO allies.

Several killed as separatists clash with Malian army, Russian allies in the conflict-hit north
BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Malian security forces clashed with members of an armed separatist group over two days, resulting in the deaths of 10 separatists, the Malian army said Friday. The Azawad separatists said it killed dozens of Malian soldiers and members of a Kremlin-controlled armed force. The clashes began with a military offensive in the northern Kidal region on Thursday, the Malian army said in a statement. On Friday, the Malian military's logistics convoy was ambushed before the attack was repelled, it added. The separatists reported they killed 'dozens' of Malian soldiers and fighters with the Kremlin-controlled African Corps in the ambush. The Azawad separatist movement has been fighting for years to create the state of Azawad in northern Mali. They once drove security forces out of the region before a 2015 peace deal that has since collapsed was signed to pave the way for some ex-rebels to be integrated into the Malian military. 'We recovered 12 trucks loaded with cereals, tankers full of diesel, one military pickup, and one armored vehicles from the 30 vehicles in the convoy,' Mohamed Maouloud Ramadan, spokesman for the Azawad separatists, said in a statement that acknowledged the death of three of their members. Viral videos shared by the separatists showed military trucks on fire in a large swathe of desert land amid gunfire as gun-wielding hooded young men posed in front of the trucks. The videos also showed bodies with uniforms that resemble those of the Malian army. The Associated Press could not independently verify the videos. The latest clashes show how difficult it is for security forces in Mali to operate in difficult terrains like Kidal, according to Rida Lyammouri, a Sahel expert at the Morocco-based Policy Center for the New South think tank. 'It's difficult to gather actionable intelligence to protect their convoys, and this gives a significant advantage to armed and jihadist groups', said Lyammouri. The latest attack occurred days after Russia's mercenary group Wagner – which for more than three years helped Malian security forces in the fight against armed groups – announced it was leaving the country. The Africa Corps, under the direct command of the Russian defense ministry, said it will remain in Mali. There are around 2,000 mercenaries in Mali, according to U.S. officials. It is unclear how many are with Wagner and how many are part of the Africa Corps.

Calgary Ukrainian community to meet with Zelenskyy during G7

Last year, the provincial government said that number stood at more than 70,000 since the full-scale Russian invasion in February, 2022 with 33,000 of those settling in Calgary. Article content Article content 'We'll tell him Canada supports him and Calgarians are doing a lot of rallies and making donations,' said Yosyfiv. Article content 'We'll ask him what else we can do.'

Article content Not all Ukrainians in Calgary are enamoured with Zelenskyy's conduct of the war, some questioning his strategic and tactical decisions and military appointments in a conflict that sees the country hard-pressed against a larger Russian foe.
