Fact Check: "Leaders of the G-7 summit, including U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, will meet in Kananaskis, Alberta, starting on Monday, October 8, 2023."
What We Know
The claim states that the G-7 summit will take place in Kananaskis, Alberta, on October 8, 2023. However, according to multiple sources, the 51st G7 summit is actually scheduled for June 15 to 17, 2025, in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada (source-2). This summit will be the second G7 summit held in Kananaskis since the 28th G8 summit in 2002 (source-2).
Furthermore, the leaders expected to attend include U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, but they will not be meeting in October 2023 as claimed (source-1).
Analysis
The claim about the G-7 summit occurring in October 2023 is demonstrably incorrect. The official schedule for the G-7 summit clearly states that it will take place in June 2025, not October 2023. This discrepancy indicates a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the event's timing.
The sources cited are reliable, including a detailed entry on Wikipedia about the G7 summit (source-2) and coverage from reputable news outlets like The New York Times (source-1). These sources provide consistent information about the event's date and location, confirming that the claim is false.
Conclusion
The claim that leaders of the G-7 summit, including U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, will meet in Kananaskis, Alberta, starting on October 8, 2023, is False. The G-7 summit is actually scheduled for June 15 to 17, 2025, in Kananaskis, Alberta, and there is no meeting planned for October 2023.
