00:00Good morning everyone, bonjour tout le monde.

00:29Welcome to Kananaskis and the 2025 G7 Leaders Summit.

00:36I'm pleased all leaders are here, honoured by your presence.

00:39We're meeting at one of those hinge moments, those turning points in history.

00:42The world's more divided and dangerous.

00:45Hostile states and terrorists have expanded their capabilities and their reach,

00:49threatening global security in our local communities.

00:53Global commerce, energy systems, even intelligence are all being rewired.

00:58Nostalgia isn't a strategy.

01:01We have to change with the times and to build a better world.

01:05And some of you, such as you, Mr. President, have anticipated these massive changes

01:10and are taking bold measures to address them.

01:13All of us around this table are reinforcing our militaries and security services for the new world.

01:20But we all know that there can be no security without economic prosperity.

01:26And no prosperity without resilience.

01:28And in a world where shocks flow across the borders, that resilience comes from cooperation.

01:34Cooperation around, that starts around this table.

01:37Well, I have to be back.

01:47Very important.

01:48I want to just thank our great host.

01:50He did a fantastic job.

01:51Thank you in Canada.

01:53But you probably see what I see.

01:56And I have to be back as soon as I can.

01:59And have dinner with these wonderful leaders.

02:02And then I get on the plane and I have to be back early.

02:05Have you directed a National Security Council to meet this situation?

02:07I loved it.

02:07I tell you, I loved it.

02:09And I think we got a lot done.

02:10Really a lot done.

02:12In fact, UK, we signed a big trade deal today.

02:15And we're working on others.

02:17But we had just a really great relationship with everybody.

02:21And it's really nice.

02:22I wish I could stay for tomorrow.

02:23But they understand.

02:25This is big stuff.

02:26Is there a reason, Mr. President, that you can't do your business from here?

02:28Do you have questions for anybody else?

02:29Have you agreed to do your business from here?

02:31Is there a reason you can't do your business from here, sir?

02:36We've got a bit more work to do, so we'll go do it over dinner.

02:39But thank you very much.

02:39Mr. Carney, have you been briefed on this?

02:41I'm very grateful for the President's presence.

02:45Are you going to happen to be okay on Iran?

02:46And I fully understand why he must return.

02:50We'll see you on the plane.

02:51Thank you very much.

02:51Thank you, Mr. President.

02:53Thank you, everyone.
