Trump's G7 Visit Sparks Protests Amidst Diplomatic Immunity

Despite his conviction on 34 counts of hush money, Donald Trump is set to attend the G7 summit in Alberta, Canada. This decision has sparked protests, but Canadian officials have granted him diplomatic immunity under an order issued earlier this year. The order, SOR/2025-42, grants privileges and immunities to heads of state attending the summit. "Canadian officials want to have high-level, high-stakes conversations," explains a CBC News reporter in a recent video report. The reporter points out that while ordinary US citizens convicted of felonies are prohibited from traveling to Canada, exceptions are made for heads of state. The video showcases the contrast between the protests against Trump's presence and the government's decision to grant him immunity, highlighting the complexities of international relations and diplomatic protocol. The event underscores the ongoing debate around accountability for high-profile individuals in the international arena.
