Trumpianism, Personal, Monopolarity And The Multipolarity Of People – OpEd

Pro Trump or Not Pro trump, that is the question of next G7;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
he inflicts with daily changing duties and will of engrossment within USA of other countries, 
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, 
And by opposing duties make other agreement- China,India, EU - end them?

A decisive stage in the transition from the hegemonic personal monopolarity hoped for by Trump and the multilateralism already in fact existing at the economic level will take place on a “personal” level from 15 to 17 June 2026 in France in Evian-les-Bains, home to the production of one of the most famous natural waters in the world, i.e. most advertised, which today is the same, having become impossible to distinguish quality from advertising, as world politicians in times of social tools testify. In the luxurious Hotel Royal, whose historic Art Nouveau façade faces Lake Geneva, set in an immense park of 47 acres populated by centuries-old trees, one of the most important meetings and clashes of the G7 will be held, which can be baptized in advance as "the G7 of strong personal dissensions". Individual dislikes and sympathies will dominate like wavering currents a meeting between a few who once thought themselves to be the masters of the world and who are now unable to agree among themselves not even on the survival of the human species 

Pro-Trump or anti-Trump, 
to die or to sleep
This is the problem".

Personal relationships will dominate the G7 

First of all, for the first time there will be two female leaders – PMs from Italy and Japan. Two out of seven is still not equal, but it is good progress. But given this, what are the motions that make this G7 special for personal aspects? First of all, Macron's presidency. It is a farewell not characterized by hugs and kisses. After attending 8 meetings, this under his presidency will be the ninth participation, the French president will say goodbye to the participants for the last time. Some people will be hapy for that. Obviously, he will want to leave a special mark, and his central theme will be that of the unity of the G7 in relation to Trump's tariff policy and that of the climate crisis and energy transition. A more conflictual position with Trump could not be imagined.

On tariffs, we know the absolute freedom of decision that the American President decides to have. Imagine if you can think of agreements! But on climate, the personal situation is even more alternative. Even Trump is convinced, as Carl Sagan recalled for other leaders in a beautiful speech many years ago, that the "greenhouse effect" and the "ozone hole" are the fantasies of scientists. Carl cited the planets Venus and  Mars as examples of the disasters, the planet Venus – the greenhouse effect  – and the planet Mars as the final disaster of the lack of ozone protection from the sun. And here the American President opts for the policy of "Denial" which, playing on assonance, Carl says is defined by certain politicians “as an ancient Egyptian river (The Nile). 

China as an observer at the G7? 

However Macron's real historical message to Trump could be the possible invitation to Xi Jinping as an observer, a hypothesis that does not make happy the other great new G7 personnel, ie., Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. Re-elected with an overwhelming majority, she is clearly sympathetic to Trump, as is Italy's Meloni. So the two female leaders are conservatives clearly aligned with Trump.

Strongly conservative and nationalist, the Japanese Prime Minister would not be happy with the presence of Xi Jinping for the simple reason that Sino-Japanese relations are at an all-time low due to a different emergence of an Asian industrial priority once known as Japanese and now with a clear future of Chinese predominance.

This possible participation of Xi Jinping brings to mind Putin's repeated participation between 2000 and 2013 in what was called the G8, which was formalized in 2011 with the official invitation to Putin by Prime Minister Berlusconi and was definitively suspended in 2014 due to the Russian invasion of Crimea.

Mark Carney is the real anti-Trump personality

But if Macron as host, but outgoing, is a first important personal anti-Trump reference, there is no doubt that the presence of Canadian PM Mark Carney will catalyze the personal disagreement with Trump more than any other. With the Davos speech, the Canadian PM clearly detached himself from Canada's traditional dependence on the US. Trump's threat (or jest?) to annex Canada – is for him so sure that when he speaks of him calls him already Governor and not PM – in addition to projecting him at the head of the Canadian government, have awakened in him commercial and even military visions that are clearly innovative with respect to a historical policy of dependence on the United States.

Mark Carney has made an agreement of enormous importance with China and there is no doubt that he would be very pleased to see Xi Jinping's presence at the summit. But it is the opening of the Canadian Consulate in Greenland that has highlighted Carney's political function as the leader of a personal revolt against Trump's - very personal - policy. After inviting the middle powers to unite so as not to end up on the "menu" of the big ones, Carney has started a series of new trade relations to protect himself from Trump's threat to impose 100% tariffs on countries that oppose his policy of annexing Greenland. The agreement with China was followed by a strengthening with the European Community on an integrated free trade area, an energy agreement with Qatar, and certainly there is a large potential free trade agreement with India in the pipeline for March 2026 meeting.

To fully understand the strongly alternative character to the pesonage that is manifesting itself as an unexpected anti-Trump leader, however, it is necessary to remember an absolutely unique experience at a historical level. Carney is the only man who has served as a central banker of two different nations, the Bank of Canada (from 2008 to 2013) and the Bank of England (from 2013 to 2020). His exceptional financial background – initially trained at Goldman Sachs – therefore makes him directly competent on a variety of Canadian and European issues like the other dual-function central governor, Mario Draghi, who has governed the Bank of Italy and the European Central Bank.

Elegant and refined in his expressions, as a true central banker, turned to politics, against deliberately popular and rude language of  Trump, their personalities will meet in a difficult linguistic and style confrontation.

And Africa?

Prepared by the meetings of Finance, Trade, Foreign Policy and Central Banks, the G7 summit will continue to manifest the greatest socio-political flaw of the twentieth century: the real lack of respect and consideration for Africa. It is incredible how the continent on its way to becoming one of the most populous in the world, is the most important authentic mine of all industrial processes, is still in fact considered by the G7 as a colony. If Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are invited, how, then can South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa not be invited. France would make the G7 take a real historic leap forward if it invited South Africa as a observer while waiting for some country to decide sooner or later to propose it as a permanent member of the Security Council, as it should have been for some time representing the continent with a huge potential future, decisive for them all: both political and economic. This is why the BRICS in 2026 is perhaps already a more relevant alternative of the G7, which like the practically defunct G20, clings to eras in which industrialization was characteristic of a few, of the 7 precisely. Now no more.

Pro Trump or Not Pro trump, that is the question of next G7;
To die for the duties: to sleep for the climate; No more.
