Introduction

Trade leaders from seven rich countries met in Paris on May 5 and 6. They talked about how to make trade fair and safe.

Main Body

Some countries use unfair rules to help their own companies. This makes it hard for others to compete. The G7 leaders want to stop these unfair rules. These countries need special minerals and technology. Right now, they get these things from too few places. They want to buy from more countries so they do not run out. Some countries stop selling things to hurt others. The G7 wants to work together to stop this. They also want to fix the World Trade Organization (WTO) to make trade rules better. More people buy things online now. The leaders want to make sure these packages are safe. They also want to protect the environment.

Conclusion

The G7 will work together to change how they trade. They want to make trade fair for everyone.
