The annual meetings of the Group of 7 finance ministers, known as the G7 , are typically congenial.

There may be less agreement this year as Trump 's tariffs threaten to slow growth in many of the gathered nations.

It will be the first formal meeting attended by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent , who participated in a brief G7 gathering last month .

Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday .

He said the two countries would soon begin ceasefire talks, though no details were available.

Ukrainian Finance Minister Sergii Marchenko will also attend the G7 meetings this week , though Ukraine is not a member.
