Asked in the White House on Thursday for his thoughts on the protests, President Trump replied: "I don't feel like a king I have to go through hell to get stuff approved. "A king would say 'I'm not going to get wouldn't have to call up [House Speaker] Mike Johnson and [Senate Majority Leader] Thune and say fellas you've got to pull this off and after years we get it done. No no we're not a king, we're not a king at all."

What to know about the Group of Seven summit in Canada that Trump will attend
TORONTO -- U.S. President Donald Trump will arrive Sunday for a Group of Seven summit in a country he has suggested should be annexed and as he wages a trade war with America's longstanding allies. Trump's calls to make Canada the 51st U.S. state have infuriated Canadians, and Prime Minister Mark Carney, who won his office by pledging to confront the U.S. president's increased aggression, now hosts the G7 summit. Carney asserted this week that Washington no longer plays a predominant role on the world stage, imposing tariffs for access to its markets and reducing its contributions to collective security. Carney has decided to abandon the annual practice of issuing a lengthy joint statement, or communiqué, at the summit's conclusion as French President Emmanuel Macron did at the G7 summit in France in 2019. The document typically outlines the consensus reached by leaders on summit issues and provides a roadmap for how they plan to tackle them. Trump roiled the 2017 meeting in Italy over the climate change passage in that summit's final statement. He then withdrew his support from the 2018 communiqué after complaining he had been slighted by then Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the host that year. The leaders of the world's richest countries begin arriving Sunday in the resort town of Kananaskis, Alberta in the Canadian Rockies. The Group of Seven comprises Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Britain. The European Union also attends as well as other heads of state who are not part of the G7 but have been invited by Carney. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will attend and is expected to meet with Trump, a reunion coming just months after their contentious Oval Office encounter, which laid bare the risks of having a meeting with the U.S. president. Other world leaders will be meeting with Trump both in a group setting and for bilateral talks, which are often precarious as foreign leaders must navigate between placating and confronting him. 'Anything could happen. The Canadians would be crazy not to anticipate something. We can't tell. That's Trump stock and trade. He likes to keep everyone guessing,' said Robert Bothwell, a University of Toronto professor of Canadian history and international relations. 'It all depends what kind of theater he's going to want to have,' he said. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum will attend and said she expects to have her first in-person meeting with Trump. On his way to Canada, Macron is making a notable stop in Greenland, the semi autonomous Danish territory that the U.S. president has also suggested annexing. Among the other newcomers are German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. Starmer will meet with Carney on Saturday in Ottawa before flying to Alberta. Carney also invited Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, despite accusations from Canada's national police force that agents of Modi's government were involved in 'widespread' violence in Canada. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom's de facto ruler, was invited but will not attend. The 2018 G7 summit in Quebec was thrown into disarray after Trump called Trudeau 'dishonest' and 'weak," while complaining that he had been blindsided by Trudeau's criticism of Trump's tariff threats at a summit-ending news conference. Trump pulled out of the G7 group statement just as it was released. 'We weren't too happy because we thought we managed to pull off a pretty good summit,' said Peter Boehm, Canada's deputy minister for the Quebec summit." The reaction — and I was with Mr. Trudeau at the time — was a bit of disbelief." Boehm expects a chair's summary from Carney this year instead of a joint statement from the leaders. During the Quebec summit, Trump also insisted on Russia's readmission to the elite group, from which it was ousted in 2014 following President Vladimir Putin's annexation of Crimea. 'Trump raised that at the foreign policy dinner," Boehm recalled. 'It was a bit awkward because British Prime Minister Theresa May was there and some British citizens had just been killed by Russian operatives using a toxic agent.' Former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, were targeted in a nerve agent attack a few months before the Quebec summit in the English city of Salisbury. U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra has said that Carney has been quietly holding direct talks with Trump about a trade deal in the lead up to the summit. Separately, top Canadian cabinet ministers have also been in Washington for negotiations in recent weeks. Trade tensions may be unavoidable. The United States runs trade deficits with all G7 countries except the United Kingdom. In an effort to balance what he describes as America's lopsided trade relations, Trump has imposed 10% import taxes — tariffs — on almost every country in the world. He also announced bigger tariffs, then suspended them, on countries that sell more to the United States than they buy. 'The big X Factor (is) the looming tariffs,' said Max Bergmann of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. 'The G7 is supposed to provide global economic governance. And the way the Europeans see it right now is that the country that's the source of major instability in global economic affairs is the United States.'' Trump's trade wars are already threatening the world economy. The World Bank on Tuesday sharply downgraded its forecast for global economic growth this year, citing 'a substantial rise in trade barriers.'' NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte will attend the G7 meeting ahead of this month's NATO summit and has said most U.S. allies in the alliance endorse Trump's demand that they invest 5% of gross domestic product on their defense needs. Carney said this week Canada would meet NATO's current 2% target but seemed to suggest he would not support 5%, saying his goal is to protect Canadians, and not to satisfy NATO accountants. Law enforcement overseeing security expect large protests but say protesters won't be able to get anywhere near Kananaskis, as access roads to the summit will be closed to the public. The Mounties say there will be designated G7 demonstration zones in Calgary and Banff, Alberta that will have live audio and video feeds, which will be broadcast to G7 leaders and delegations at the summit. Kananaskis also hosted a G8 summit in 2002.

Escalation Is Key Fear for Markets After Strike, Analysts Say
(Bloomberg) -- The key question for markets following Israel's strike on Iran is how much worse things will get, say strategists. Shuttered NY College Has Alumni Fighting Over Its Future Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NYC Renters Brace for Price Hikes After Broker-Fee Ban Do World's Fairs Still Matter? NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire Israel has launched airstrikes against Iran's nuclear program and military targets. Defense Minister Israel Katz called the move 'preemptive,' while Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes would last until the threat is removed. The tension weighed on markets: Oil surged, Asian stocks and global equity futures fell, and the dollar reversed earlier losses as traders sought familiar havens. Here's what market watchers from Sydney to Paris are saying: Nicolas Forest, chief investment officer at Candriam in Brussels 'The attack on Iran is a classic risk-off factor that leads to a decline in stocks and a flight to quality. The sharp rise in oil prices, if it continues, could negatively impact growth and inflation, reinforcing the potential risk of stagflation already present with the tariff war. The oil price rally is clearly not in the interest of the Trump administration' Kim Forrest, a US-based chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners 'It seems like Israel has taken it upon itself to destroy the nuclear bomb building capabilities of Iran and that's not what we've seen in the past. It's unclear what will happen throughout the night... We'll see if cooler heads can prevail' 'This is very serious. It's surprising the market isn't down more. Do I expect things to get lower in the coming hours? Heck yeah, I expect it to be lower by the time I wake up but it'll also depend on who's talking and what's happening' Alexandre Baradez, chief market analyst at IG in Paris 'This is likely to put the current rally on European and US indexes on hold. The stock market was getting expensive so this will encourage investors, particularly retail, to take some profits now' Alexandre Hezez, chief investment officer at Group Richelieu in Paris 'This goes against what central banks were expecting for oil prices and could potentially change their scenario by heating up inflation and slowing growth' Matt Maley, a US-based chief market strategist at Miller Tabak + Co. 'The comments about doing whatever it takes, Netanyahu saying this is just the beginning and the references to self defense — they are preparing for a serious retaliation. The last time Iran retaliated nothing got through but nobody knows what will happen next' 'My question is what happens with the Strait of Hormuz? Iran can shut that down and that's 13 million barrels of oil everyday not to mention natural gas and they have the ability to shut that down. Will they want to do that or limit what can go through? I don't know' 'The assumption that this will be a quick affair is a risky one... If this turns into something lengthy and the Strait of Hormuz gets impacted oil can go above $100 very quickly and that puts pressure on global growth. I don't want to overstate it because we simply don't know if things will get worse or not. The real risks are very high right now' Michael O'Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading in the US 'I'm really just trying to get the best grip I can on the situation and obviously it's fluid — but there should be more risk involved to the markets than the strikes last year' 'The market has had a tremendous rally without much of a correction so that places the market in a more vulnerable place. It's one of those situations where we've had an escalation and the question is: what does Iran do as a response? Do they have a harder strike back? That's the looming question in my mind. During the course of this rally markets have been relatively complacent so that's a key risk with where we are today' 'There's now a very likely outcome that there's a retaliatory event over the weekend and that will keep people on the sideline and a little tentative' Billy Leung, investment strategist in Sydney at Global X ETFs 'It's a sharp reversal from last night's bullishness, when tech optimism, soft inflation, and light positioning had the market leaning risk-on — a direct Israeli strike on Iran cuts through that narrative instantly' 'This mirrors past flashpoints like the Soleimani strike in 2020, tanker attacks in 2019, where we saw the same initial reaction: oil bid, Treasuries and Swiss franc stronger' 'The key now is whether this stays contained — history shows markets often fade the shock if escalation is limited' Wei Liang Chang, a Singapore-based macro strategist at DBS Group Holdings Ltd. 'There could be a knee-jerk reaction in markets, as Middle East geopolitical risks return to to the fore' 'Markets will assess the impact of the strike and watch for risks of an escalation' 'Risky assets could see a pare back, while safe havens such the yen and US Treasuries could be bid' Matthew Haupt, portfolio manager in Sydney at Wilson Asset Management 'Seeing classical risk off moves with bonds and gold bid, along with a spike in oil. Quite often these moves are faded after the initial shocks. What we are watching now for is the speed and scale of the response from Tehran, that will shape the duration of the current moves' Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist in Singapore at Saxo Markets 'Whether this risk-off tone sticks now depends on the next 24-48 hours. If Tehran's response is limited and energy flows remain uninterrupted, experience suggests the premium can bleed out fairly quickly. But any sign of retaliation or supply disruption would keep volatility elevated and push oil and safe-haven assets higher.' Rodrigo Catril, a Sydney-based strategist at National Australia Bank 'One theme to watch is whether the dollar's safe haven attributes are being diluted by the US administration's trade policy (tariffs), fiscal profligacy and its challenge to the rule of law. Evidence to date suggests that is the case' 'Israel's unilateral move, if confirmed, also highlights how the world order is potentially changing' 'The US is seemingly stepping away from a leading geopolitical role, opening the door for others to pursue their own agenda' 'The concern here would be that Israel is just one and others could follow in the belief that the US won't be there to stop them' 'Geopolitics is becoming a more disruptive force for markets, adding another layer of uncertainty. Safe havens will go bid but the dollar may not' --With assistance from Marcus Wong, John Cheng, Bailey Lipschultz, Winnie Hsu and Ruth Carson. (Adds further analyst comments.)
