The G7 group of nations is meeting in the French resort town of Biarritz for what will be its 45th summit. But what is the G7, who are its members and what does it do?The G7 is an organisation made up of the world's seven largest so-called advanced economies: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States., with freedom and human rights, democracy and the rule of law, and prosperity and sustainable development as its key principles.
Ministers and civil servants from the G7 countries meet throughout the year to discuss matters of mutual interest. Each member nation takes over the G7 presidency for a year on a rolling basis and hosts the annual centrepiece two-day summit meeting. Energy policy, climate change, HIV/Aids and global security are just some of the subjects discussed at past summits.
As a communique will not be issued following this years meeting, what the G7 is and what it does will remain a mystery.
Trump looks like an uncomfortable 10 year old.
Not much
Why is TM on the pic instead of Bojo
It eats lobster, and drinks champagne for about a week.
Has trump taken his unelected spokes-daughter again?
Basically nothing! Gigantic excuse for multiple photo opportunities and climate damage due to the amount of hot air expelled and the emissions from the jets they use to get there.
Why are Tusk and Juncker there? EU is not a country.
Boosts the local economy as the local rozzers get loads of overtime to look after the talking shop.
We will soon be out of the G7 thanks to the economy damaging Brexit
BBCPolitics Funny enough G7 are1 always 8: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, the US and the EU.
Why eu flags on show. It isn't a country
Talking shop. Nothing.
BBCPolitics Doh! 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
THE G7 SUMMIT IS TO MAKE SURE THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET POORER AT ANY COST, THIS IS HOW IT AS WORKED SO FAR, CHECK THE HISTORY !!
They seem to have hit on a good spot
It's like a G6 but without wings
BBCPolitics is Tangerine Nazi actually going?
for the rain forest bugger all-greed is good
Didn't Trump ask the same question?
A globalist piss-up. It's cute how they stand in front of those flags as if to pretend they give a shit about their countries or populace.
An excuse for a photo call and free food and drink and if and when sober they might chat about the weather for a few minutes
BBCPolitics Free slap up lunch.
Talking shop. Imagine the cost. Where we get a series of indicative votes.
BBCPolitics At least have them in order of height...🤦♂️
Do what we say not what we do.
For a completely negative view of G7 summits, please read the tweets below ....
Not a lot
The G7 is meant to be 7 countries. Why do the EU butt into everything?
Me: what was before the G7 Brenda my chief chip fryer: G6
BBCPolitics A beano for the ruling elite. 🍾
N o b o d y k n o w s and a b s o l u t e l y n o t h i n g p r o d u c t i v e
This is asking the wrong question it should ask what does the G7 achieve? Answers on a postcard
BBCPolitics Wondering if the EU guys are there cos they're replacing Merkel and Macron at the next meeting.
Create more problems for the world
What’s donaldtusk & JunckerEU doing there - ok, free bar for the later - the EU isn’t a sovereign nation?
....allows world leaders to get pssed up at our expense. Pass the brandy Boris.....there you are Donald.
They create more emissions by flying, driving to the summits.. why not face time the meetings.. would also reduce protests, saving money on security 🤷🏻♂️
BBCPolitics I’ve never understood why the EU, not a sovereign state but a trading block, should be allowed nation status. I hope BJ and Trump can change this absurdity.
BBCPolitics While Johnson preps to play role of “global statesman” (despite his appalling record as Foreign Secretary) & cosy up to Trump in order to get a poll boost. Reminder that at last G7 Trump announced he was pulling out of Paris agreement. & Trump this week?
The drunk from the EU is the ring leader, workshop on how to drink shots.
A lovely jolly tht UK follows & others think abt it.
Not much....👊
The G7 summits are primarily to provide a venue for overpaid under qualified ego maniacs to get together for some slap up meals at our expense whilst congratulating each other on how they control and oppress their people. Think that sums it all up. 👍
My god look at angela dressing like she having a drink at the beach
Nothing . They talk . Talking achieves nothing actions do . It’s really just a waste of fuel . They Never Heard of video conference
Not much
Globalists
Not a lot and this year even less they are all too busy with their own narrow issues at home. Nor is has only one thought, making us into a small meaningless country.
Hope Boris and co aren't travelling by BA ! Worst company service on the planet and their pilots are greedy bastards
Who pays for it? Be interesting to see which companies get decent contacts for security, catering, etc. Boys club no doubt.
It's last year's photo, but why is DrunkerTheGreat & his pip squeek pal Don Tusk stood there like book ends? Symbolism?
Why are DrunkerTheGreat & his pop squeak pal, Don Tusk stood their like book ends? Symbolism?
Corruption at best, wine and dine at our expense, fly from every corner of the world leaving a massive carbon footprint behind their ass, ye, useless toe-rags planing the next evil move on the unsuspecting populist.
It's ritual gathering of the Controllers' top puppets who perform a deceptive Act to delude people that 'together' they can fix the problems their masters have created.
Sihting scenes of the oppression of Hindus Muslims in India. These horrific scenes should receive the attention of states and organizations that are concerned with human rights, if they are actually concerned by man, any human being.
Seriously considers the state of this planet I hope, top agenda discussion!!!! Once this has gone economies, oil and everything else they discuss won’t matter anymore
A backslaping event for senior politicians and media. It's one of those events that never publishes it's cost so who knows?
It’s a piss up for the toffs at our expense
More to the point why is there 9 of them including two hangers on from a supranational undemocratic cabal?
It's a piss up for world leaders, then Trump turns up, does his one man comedy act, and gives the world a laugh....
Oh good. Maybe Angela will finally just squish the bug already..
A talking shop and Nothing.
The foreign ministers of Japan, China and South Korea (without inviting Russia and the United States) will meet at their first trilateral meeting in August 2019 next of Beijing to discuss North Korea and other regional issues.
It's a gangster fest. Like minded terror bastards all working to fill their pockets and control the planet with Christianity and slavery while also backstabbing one another to be top dog.
Ffs..really? Is your audience so stupid that they don’t know about the G7?
Gives Trump the opportunity to show just how mad he is?
