OTTAWA — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says Canada has invited her to attend the G7 leaders' summit next month in Alberta but she hasn't decided yet if she'll attend.
At her press briefing this morning, Sheinbaum said she has not confirmed her attendance at the upcoming summit in Kananaskis, Alta.
U.S. President Donald Trump is set to attend the summit, along with other leaders from the group of advanced, democratic economies, such as France and Japan.
Ottawa also has invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the summit, which runs from June 15 to June 17.
Canada was supposed to host the U.S. and Mexican presidents last year for the North American Leaders' Summit, though the Liberals said elections in both countries made that a challenge.
U.S. tariffs are expected to be a major topic at the summit and Mexico's finance minister said Tuesday he expects Washington to review its trade pact with Canada and Mexico this fall.

Trump's 50 per cent steel and aluminum tariffs go into effect
WASHINGTON – Tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum to the United States are increasing to 50 per cent today after President Donald Trump followed through on his plan to double the duties. Trump signed an executive order Tuesday to increase the levies from their previous rate of 25 per cent, saying it was necessary to protect national security and industries in the United States. Prime Minister Mark Carney says the tariffs are both unlawful and unjustified and that Canada is intensively negotiating with the U.S. to have tariffs removed under a new economic and security deal. The latest steel and aluminum increase doesn't apply to imports from the United Kingdom, which remain at 25 per cent while the Trump administration works out details of a trade deal announced last month. About a quarter of all steel used in the United States is imported and Canada is its largest supplier. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. The Canadian steel and aluminum industries say doubling the tariffs will have a devastating impact while economists warn the higher tariffs could also lead to cost increases for Americans.
