The 2024 G7 photo captures more than a group of world leaders—it’s a portrait of political upheaval. From Canada’s Justin Trudeau facing historic disapproval, to Japan’s Fumio Kishida resigning amidst scandal, to Olaf Scholz navigating Germany’s coalition chaos, the leaders in this lineup are on the ropes. Emmanuel Macron is clinging to alliances after France’s political right surged, Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives were decimated in a UK Labour landslide, and Joe Biden faces his own challenges back home. This isn’t just politics as usual; it’s the old guard under siege, and the future of global leadership hanging in the balance.
