The G7 is a global alliance made up of some of the world’s most important economic “big hitters,” this includes Canada, Germany, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Italy. This year, the U.K. hosted the summit and it marked some change because the United States returned to the table, not as a troll, but as an ally and friend. There was some unity over not only delivering vaccines to the world’s most vulnerable nations, but also holding corporations more accountable (via a global corporate tax). Unfortunately, while the G7 agreed that the Uighur situation in China was atrocious, it floundered over an actual solution on dealing with China. Even some G7 nations like Italy, the U.K., and France, have even welcomed some Chinese influence. Some scholars believe that this G7 was a frozen moment in time, removed from the past, but also not focused on the future. It was as if the last four years hadn’t happened… yet they did. In this episode, Drew and Alex look at what is next for the G7 countries, whether the Biden v. Putin summit will amount to anything, and how the US can work with its allies to deal with China.
