Carney's first foreign policy test begins at G7 — amid Middle East crisis and Trump's trade war

Prime Minister Mark Carney will welcome leaders of the world's most powerful democratic countries Sunday for the start of a three-day meeting in the Rocky Mountains — a high-stakes summit that longtime G7 observers say could be one of the most consequential in years. Carney's priorities for this gathering in Kananaskis, Alta., reflect the challenges of our time: war and peace, energy security with a focus on critical minerals and artificial intelligence and "securing the partnerships of the future," according to the Prime Minister's Office. This will include talk about U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive trade actions against Canada and other G7 countries. And as parts of Western Canada go up in flames, Carney has also put wildfires on the agenda. The leaders will discuss bolstering joint responses to climate disasters and some sort of "wildfire charter" is expected. Israel's strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities and military sites, which began Friday, could overshadow the discussions on the official agenda. The guest list for the summit, which includes India's Narendra Modi, has drawn some domestic criticism but Carney has argued that big global challenges should be addressed by the world's big players — even if there are some lingering tensions."It's a landmark summit because never before have these leaders had to confront so many strong, simultaneously interconnected crises," said John Kirton, director of the G7 Research Group at the University of Toronto. Kirton is pleased with the guest list Carney has assembled, saying there are more leaders of consequence coming to Kananaskis than perhaps any other such meeting in recent memory. In addition to the G7 members and India, Brazil, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Ukraine, Mexico and Australia — the secretaries general of the UN, NATO and EU along with the head of the World Bank will be there for at least part of the proceedings. When Trudeau hosted in 2018, Canada's guest list included leaders from "overwhelmingly little countries" with a focus on those facing endangered by rising shorelines like Jamaica, the Marshall Islands and the Seychelles, Kirton said. "Carney's list — it's a great one," Kirton told CBC News. "If you really want to lead the world, and not just the G7 part of the world, then you want the next tier of the biggest leaders there at the table." Leaders will begin to arrive Sunday and then be ferried by helicopter to the summit site. Monday's session will be broadly focused on the economy and "economic peace," and then security matters, government officials said in a background briefing. The second day will be when the non-G7 leaders will be brought in. It's also when Ukraine will be a major focus. Carney personally invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss a path forward for that war-torn country. Trump has been hostile to Ukraine at times as he pushes for a swift resolution to the war Russia started — but he has largely maintained U.S. military support and anti-Russia sanctions despite some of his tough talk. On trade and Ukraine, the summit's success will depend on what Trump does or does not do, said Fen Hampson, a professor of international relations and the co-chair of the expert group on Canada-U.S. relations at Carleton University. "Even when it comes to his tech bro buddies, things can go sideways pretty quickly," Hampson said. "That's really the big risk here — does the president arrive in a good mood willing to do business, or is he in a bad mood?" While he's not expecting Trump to drop all of his tariffs after a few days in the mountains, Hampson said a U.S. "commitment to work together in a positive way" and revisit trade actions could be spun as a win by Carney. A commitment from Trump to stay the course in Ukraine would also be well-received by Carney and the Europeans in the room, Hampson said. To secure that sort of shift, Europe may commit to dropping policies that irritate Trump, including its digital services tax, while Canada could play up its newfound commitment to a stronger military and more defence spending, longtime U.S. demands, Hampson said. But depending on Trump to play nice is a risky proposition, he said. "Carney is more than just the head waiter at this meeting," Hampson said. "This is going to be a real test of his own negotiating skills." Increasing tensions in the Middle East after Israel launched airstrikes in Iran will further test Carney. Iran fired dozens of missiles toward Israel hours later. "With Israel's attack on Iran, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Iran-Israel dynamics have to be at least informally on the agenda," University of Ottawa political science professor Thomas Juneau said. "It makes Prime Minister Carney's job way more complicated than it already was." No joint communique Unlike at past G7 summits, Canada is not planning to get all leaders to agree to a joint communique — a sometimes unwieldy list of priorities and accomplishments that all countries agree to sign. Instead, Canada has been working with the other countries ahead of time to secure leaders' approval on a series of short, joint statements focused on concrete actions and outcomes in key areas, a senior government official said ahead of the summit. This strategy could be interpreted as a way to avoid what befell the 2018 G7 meeting Canada hosted in Charlevoix, Que. Trump did not want to sign on to a series of climate change-focused measures — something former prime minister Justin Trudeau made a priority at those talks despite Trump's well-known hostility to environmentalism. The president ultimately agreed to the joint communique while withholding U.S. support for some green measures — but then torpedoed G7 unity entirely in a series of post-summit tweets, saying he was offended by what Trudeau said at a closing news conference. Rather than squabble over policy measures Trump will never support, Carney is focused on getting G7 leaders to coalesce around things that have a reasonable chance of garnering a consensus, a senior government official said. The government is framing this agenda as a more streamlined, focused document than the last one. Trudeau, by comparison, tried to get G7 support for 28 areas of agreement in Charlevoix. Trump may be the sticking point on trade and Ukraine, but Kirton said Carney's program suggests Canada is setting up this meeting to be a success on other issues. "If you're going to hit home runs, you really need the U.S. to go along with you. On many of Mark Carney's priorities, it's easy to see Donald Trump agreeing," he said, referring to defence spending, AI and a move to crack down on deadly drugs like fentanyl. "Carney has said he wants Canada to be a global leader. This is the way to make that happen — if he can pull it all together on the spot."

2 Top Stocks to Profit Off the AI and Cryptocurrency Booms

Advanced Micro Devices is positioned for explosive growth in the AI chip market. Coinbase Global is preparing itself to be a leading financial services platform for the digital economy. 10 stocks we like better than Advanced Micro Devices › Artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency are two high-growth markets that offer promising return potential. Investing in the right stocks could pay off handsomely in the coming years. Here are two stocks that could deliver. AI is expected to increase the global economy by $15.7 trillion by 2030, according to PwC. This is a huge opportunity for one of the leading chipmakers, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD). AMD stock pulled back sharply to start the year, but it has begun to recover. The business is set to supply a leading AI company with its new chips, which could benefit the stock. The last few years have seen a lot of chip investment go toward AI training, which is the process of feeding large data sets to AI models to make them smarter. Nvidia capitalized on the demand for AI training with its graphics processing units (GPUs). While AMD was late to the party, its first data center GPU, the MI300, was launched in late 2023 and raked in $5 billion of revenue last year. Management still sees a $500 billion opportunity as it launches new GPUs designed for AI inferencing, which takes a model to the next level by teaching it to make decisions on its own from new data. This is expected to be a huge market, and AMD has positioned its new chip lineup to take advantage of the opportunity. The company reported accelerating revenue growth last quarter, with data center revenue up 57% year over year. It gained business from one of the leading AI model developers that is using its Instinct GPUs for daily inferencing needs. AMD will launch its Instinct MI400 GPU in 2026, and OpenAI just announced plans to use the chip. This is a huge win and signals growing momentum for its data center business. Demand for AI inferencing hardware is expected to grow from $106 billion in 2025 to $255 billion by 2030, according to MarketsandMarkets. AMD is well positioned for this opportunity, making the recent dip a great buying opportunity. The cryptocurrency market was worth more than $3 trillion as of June 12, yet only 7% of the global population uses cryptocurrency, according to the crypto exchange Kraken. As interest in digital currencies continues to grow, Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN) could grow along with it. Coinbase is a leading cryptocurrency exchange with more than $300 billion in assets on the platform. It saw a sharp increase in revenue last year as trading volumes soared, which has sent the stock up nearly 600% since 2022. But the shares have been volatile over the last few years, reflecting the downturn in the markets a few years ago. The risk for holding the stock is when markets decline, trading volumes drop, which depresses revenue. However, Coinbase has a lot of opportunity to attract more assets to its platform. It is expanding the number of trading products and services to appeal to institutional investors, which make up the majority of its trading volume. Its push into crypto options and stablecoins, as well as improvements to its trading infrastructure are positioning it to attract more customers. As demand for digital assets continues to grow, the exchange should see increasing trading volumes and revenue. And there are strong signals pointing to rising demand for cryptocurrencies over the long term. A recent report from Coinbase showed that 60% of Fortune 500 executives are working on blockchain initiatives, which serve as the digital ledger for crypto transactions. Another strong signal supporting the long-term future of the market was President Donald Trump's recent executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for the U.S. government. These are bullish indicators for crypto and Coinbase. There are a lot of places to buy and sell cryptocurrency, but Coinbase is on a mission to become not just a leading crypto exchange but also a leading financial services platform. This makes the stock a great way to benefit from this booming market.

Everyone's Talking About Silver Stocks: Here's 1 ETF to Consider

Written by Joey Frenette at The Motley Fool Canada Silver has been on a hot run of late, to say the least. And as gold consolidates a bit in a 'sideways correction' of sorts, questions linger as to just how much the often-neglected shiny metal can outrun gold as we enter the second half. Indeed, silver has seemed mostly undervalued compared to gold in recent years, with the latter drastically outperforming the former over rising macro headwinds and other unknowns (think tariff risks and recession fears). Though silver is an industrial metal that moves in a very different way, I still think it's not too late to add to your exposure if you haven't done so already. While silver isn't the same sort of 'safe haven' as gold, investors seeking lowly correlated gains may wish to consider a few options to play the metal as it heats up for the summer season. As always, silver and most other commodities are nearly impossible to forecast. So, unless you're a long-term thinker who's looking to beef up your portfolio's diversification, investors should play it cautiously if they're thinking about chasing the new, red-hot metal on the scene! Year to date, the iShares Silver Trust (NYSEARCA:SLV), one of my preferred ways to invest in and watch physical silver, is up a lofty 23%, topping the S&P 500 and TSX Index by a fairly wide margin. Much of the big gains have come over the past month, with silver rising close to 13% over this period. Indeed, that's a melt-up that few folks saw coming. And while some of the easy gains may already be in the books, I continue to find silver a tad cheaper than gold, especially as the gold trade runs out of steam and the silver trade regains more of its lustre. In this piece, we'll check out one way to play the rising price of silver as technical momentum builds while perceived undervaluation relative to gold (some like to view the gold-to-silver ratio, which is still on the high side of the historical range) paints a pretty picture for value-minded investors. First up, we have the silver standard for betting on bullion, the iShares Silver Trust, or the SLV as it's best known by investors. It's a pretty quick and easy way to bet on silver without having to stock up on the coins while paying up a hefty premium to do so. The only knock against this ETF for Canadians? It's in U.S. dollars, so you'll need to swap your loonies for greenbacks. With recent weakness in the U.S. dollar, though, I do think investors looking to take advantage of the relative strength in the Canadian dollar may wish to do so by picking up a few shares of the SLV ETF. In any case, the liquidity levels of SLV are top-notch, making it a fine first choice for those who value liquidity and relatively low fees. While the 0.5% expense ratio isn't the lowest in the world, it is quite a bit (around 0.1% or so) lower than comparable offerings out there. As always, do put in the homework and ask yourself why you want to add silver to your TFSA? Is it for a quick gain? Diversification? Or perhaps above-average appreciation over the long haul? Either way, silver has shone brighter than gold in the past week. The post Everyone's Talking About Silver Stocks: Here's 1 ETF to Consider appeared first on The Motley Fool Canada.
