Britain's global negotiating position is weaker after the G7 Summit

The leaders of the G7 meet annually to affirm the strength of their relationships and chart the steps to further deepen their ties. The G7 is a key forum for the UK, as it is the only governance group that includes both the EU and the US, the two most important entities with whom the British government is negotiating new trade agreements – one more distant and one more close, respectively. Tristen Naylor writes that Theresa May has returned from this year’s summit in Charlevoix, Canada in a weaker negotiating position relative to both the US and EU, though through no fault of her own.
