Climate change likely bone of contention in Canada's G-7 agenda

Montreal

PRIME Minister Justin Trudeau promises a "progressive agenda" for Canada's Group of Seven (G-7) presidency in 2018, but talks may once again hit a snag over climate change after the US withdrawal from the Paris agreement.

For Mr Trudeau, this presidency comes at a time when his government has been struggling with a difficult renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) with the US and Mexico, which was demanded by US President Donald Trump amid rising American protectionism.
