Transcript

CHANG: Thanks for joining us this Friday morning. We will have a media briefing in preparation for the upcoming G-7 summit. I just want to note that the contents of this briefing and Q&A will be on the record and we will post a recording and transcript of this discussion at the conclusion.

This briefing is a part of the Council’s ongoing mission to inform U.S. engagement in the world. You will find analysis and resources posted across our channels, including CFR.org and ForeignAffairs.com. In particular, I want to point you to a couple of resources already available, including an expert brief that Heidi Crebo-Rediker wrote on Macron’s agenda meeting Trump’s at the G-7 summit, and the latest episode of The Spillover podcast with Rebecca Patterson, in which the hosts take on G-7 debates around global imbalances. Rebecca, I hope I got that right.

PATTERSON: You did. And we had guest, Brad Setser, on that podcast episode.

CHANG: That was going to be the surprise.

PATTERSON: Oh, sorry.

CHANG: So, indeed, we have a robust lineup of our Council experts for you today. So, I will turn it over to our moderator, Matthias Matthijs. Thanks very much.

MATTHIJS: Thank you...
