German Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomes leaders of the Group of Seven rich democracies on Sunday to a three-day summit in the Bavarian Alps overshadowed by the war in Ukraine and its far-reaching consequences, from energy shortages to a food crisis.
The summit takes place against a darker backdrop than last year when the British, Canadian, French, German, Italian, Japanese and U.S. leaders met for the first time since before the COVID-19 pandemic and vowed to build back better.
Soaring global energy and food prices are hitting economic growth in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The United Nations warned on Friday of an "unprecedented global hunger crisis". Climate change, an increasingly assertive China and the rise of authoritarianism are also set to be on the agenda.
The G7 leaders are expected to seek to show a united front on supporting Ukraine for as long as necessary and cranking up pressure on the Kremlin - although they will want to avoid sanctions that could stoke inflation and exacerbate the cost-of-living crisis affecting their own people.
"The main message from the G7 will be unity and coordination of action... That's the main message, that even through difficult times... we stick to our alliance," an EU official said. The G7 partners are set to agree to ban imports of gold from Russia, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.
A German government source later said that leaders were having "really constructive" conversations on a possible price cap on Russian oil imports. The G7 leaders are also expected to discuss options for tackling rising energy prices and replacing Russian oil and gas imports.

What Ukrainian war? That thing has gone into its stagnation phase. Biden and his RATS don’t need it anymore. Old news.
Discussing the threat Russia poses to the New World Order/shutdown of fossil fuels, and FORCING EV’s on everyone. Wealth redistribution to create new business opportunities in sh&thole nations, who cannot purchase goods and services now, is what the Coup was all about.
NATO is splintering and that’s a good thing.
The US, alone, has approximately 276,000,000 ICE vehicles.
I wonder where that many EV car batteries are coming from.
I also can’t wait to see where all these distribution charging stations are going.
I do electrical distribution design and there is a completely insane amount of work to be done. That’s without a single charging station being added.
Our workforce is undermanned, and very old.
Every “green” target is absolute BS and won’t be achieved.
Directors and above pull BS dates out of their asses, and will have new positions when those dates are not met.
The 7 worst leaders in the world destroying the world for a Cult called Globalism
But only 672 million of them will be plug-in EVs.

I put the odds of there being 672 million EV’s on the road by 2050 as asymptotic to zero.

Maybe there will be a lot more but they’ll have Gasoline Engines ,LOL
YOU take YOUR seat
YOU say “the economy is healthy”
YOU don’t shit YOUR pants
YOU blame Putin for everything
“I also can’t wait to see where all these distribution charging stations are going.”
The “public” believes they can just plug their EV into a wall outlet in the garage, and be ready to drive to work in the morning. They have NO CLUE as to where the energy comes from, the equipment required to charge the battery, nor the COST that will be coming (subsidized by TAXPAYERS, or course, through “incentives” to select suppliers, UNION-only suppliers, I might add), and the inevitable re-charging delemna when on the road, waiting for recharging, (or waiting in line to get to the re-charging station). Do they think employers are going to provide “free” re-charging during the workday? The fossil-fueled sources REQUIRED to supply the additional power are never mentioned, nor the cost of rebuilding the distribution systems to handle the loads.
Bet there are many jokes about Biden mass humor ensues.
Ukraine is the money laundering mecca for those lucky enough to be in it. These world bodies are fake phoney frauds who are controlled by the great reset elites
Basically, you have to have been a "participant" in a U.S. d-day operation during WWII to qualify for this little club. Talk about living in the past. Huge swaths of the globe probably look on this display of isolation and impotence with bemusement.
