President Trump is set to attend the Group of 7 summit as allied nations reassess their ties with the United States.
The president has frequently clashed with European leaders over trade policy, Ukraine, and NATO contributions.
In recent weeks, tensions have escalated as Trump criticized allies for failing to back U.S. military actions against Iran.
The divide marks a significant shift in transatlantic relations, with long-standing partnerships facing new strain.
European officials are increasingly questioning the reliability of the U.S. as a consistent global partner.
The summit is expected to feature tense discussions on defense spending, trade imbalances, and Middle East policy.
Trump’s approach has prompted some allies to explore deeper cooperation among themselves, independent of Washington.
The gathering will test whether common ground can still be found on key international issues.
