Singh Calls for Trump’s G7 Disinvitation
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is urging the Canadian government to bar President Trump from attending the G7 summit in Alberta, citing threats to Canada’s sovereignty and economic well-being. Singh’s call, supported by a petition with over 23,000 signatures, proposes refocusing the summit to counter Trump’s influence and build a united front against him. This action is part of a broader NDP foreign policy platform including increased foreign aid, a rapid-response UN peacekeeping force, and military modernization, though it stops short of committing to NATO’s 2% GDP spending target. The proposal has been met with resistance from the Liberal government.
