Leaders of the Group of Seven are discussing Russia's war in Ukraine and a tentative deal by U.S. President Donald Trump to end the conflict with Iran. Tuesday is the first full day of the G7 summit of leading industrialized nations in the French town of Evian-les-Bains. Trump said after meeting French President Emmanuel Macron late Monday that he would again focus on Ukraine. Macron says he will seek to persuade Trump to continue supporting Ukraine and increase pressure on Russia to help reach a peace agreement. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is attending at France's invitation. Leaders at the summit also will discuss ensuring stability in the Middle East.

For eight years, the United States has waged economic war on China, slapping big taxes on Chinese products before they enter America. But the campaign hasn’t dented China’s industrial prowess. The world’s second biggest economy is exporting more products than ever. It’s just redirecting them away from the U.S. tariff wall and toward more open markets in Europe and elsewhere in Asia. The shift in Chinese trade risks creating a European sequel to the China Shock that wiped out hundreds of thousands of factory jobs in the American heartland in the 2000s and contributed to the political upheaval that put Donald Trump in the White House twice.
