La Malbaie, Canada – Gorned diplomats from a group of 7 industrialized democracies held the first day of talks in Canada on Thursday, because US President Donald Trump’s Trade and Party Policy thrown with a block of one solid unity in a mess. Trump then recorded new comments by the antagonizing secretary of the State Canadian hosts Marca Rubio.
A two-day meeting is open immediately after Trump threatened to issue 200% of the Tariff on the European Wine and other alcohol if the European Union does not go down from Relatio US Steel and Aluminum Tariffs With imposes on American whiskey.
The escalating trade war was added uncertainty due to the relationship between the United States and its closest ally, which have already tense Trump’s position on Russia’s War in Ukraine.
He also meant that he rubbed, on his first official journey to Canada and his first on the G7 event, probably would hear a lithium complaint while he met with Britain’s Foreign Ministers, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan.
All of them made new US presidential policies, and stiffly smiled at frigid temperatures as they set up a group in Snowy Resort in La Malbaie, Quebec, on Rijeka St. Lawrence.
“Peace and stability are at the top of our agenda, and I look forward to talking about how we continue to support Ukraine in Ruskoline illegal aggression,” said Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly, as he turned the meetings into the session.
Rubio met before with Joly, arrived in Quebec late Wednesday only a few hours after Trump steel and aluminum tariffs – Incentive Irati Answers of the European Union and Canada. Neither Rubilio nor Joly talked, nor the State Department or Canadian Foreign Ministry did not bring normally custom hearings.
In fact, there was little, if there were information that they appear about the hearing of the closed door that was uncertainted on Joly’s planned Ratings for Ottawe before the G7 meeting soon attended the first Canadian Prime Minister Markey’s first cabinet meeting.
But, on the way to Canada from Saudi Arabia, where he got an agreement from Ukraine for a 30-day truce in the warRubio rejected suggestions to face an unpleasant reception from this colleague.
Joly, however, is clearly clear that Canada would not return at least. Trump entered Adoptagonist to Canada with a permanent conversation about becoming 51. US state, Additional tariffs and persistent offense against your leadershipThe great he reiterated from Thursday in the comments in the White House.
Before talking Jolyy, he said he would use each meeting to G7 to raise Trump tariffs and coordinates the answer. She also noticed that Trump continued to press “his disrespectful 51. State rhetoric”.
For his part, Trump has doubled on anti-Canadian rhetoric during the meeting of the oval Office on Thursday with NATO Chief Mark Rutte. “To be honest with you, Canada is only working as a state,” Trump said before he said he would say that he would not change his mind on the tariffs imposing in Canada. “We’ve ripped out for years,” he said. “We won’t bend.”
Rubio diminished Trump’s earlier comments, saying the president was just expressing what he thought would be a good idea. G7 “It’s not a meeting about how we’ll take over Canada,” he said.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said that G7 nations should avoid panic and publish a message from Canada to X, which includes photos for foreign policy with its Kaja Kalas. “We have back, @melaniejoly,” she wrote. “#Canada #solidarity”
“We learned a total in these tremors geopolitical times … especially in moments when your heart really beats your heart, it is important to be calm,” Baerbock told reporters. She noted that the G7 “Powerhouse … for freedom, for our common understanding of peace.”
At the tariffs, Rubio said that the G7 partners should understand that it is a “political decision” by Trump for the protection of American competitiveness.
“I think it’s quite possible that we can do it and deal at the same time with our allies and friends and partners on all the other issues we work together on Wednesday. And that is what I expect from G7 and Canada.”
He was asked if he had been able to have been able to have a question of his colleagues, “I don’t know, should I be? I mean to come. I mean it’s not going. I think it would actually worsen things, not better.”
The G7 meeting agenda included discussions on China and Indo-Pacific; Ukraine and Europe; Stability in America; Middle East; Maritime safety; Africa; and China, North Korea, Iran and Russia.
Rubio and Trump’s National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, was in a straw, Saudi Arabia, earlier in the week, providing a potentially huge won for the administration – a Possible 30-day truce in the war in Russia-UkraineThe question that gave the G7 because it is even before the start of the conflict. Trump Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has arrived on Thursday in Russia for talks with officials on the proposal.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that he agrees in principle with the US proposal But that the conditions must be elaborated, emphasizing that it should rub the way to lasting peace.
“So the idea itself is correct, and we certainly support it,” Putin said at the press conference in Moscow. “But there are questions we need to talk, and I think we need to talk about it with our American colleagues and partners.”
There were no immediate comments from G7 officials to Putin comments, although participants were expected cautiously optimistic.
Still, Trump is the visible desire to Draw Putin back to fold – Including saying that Russia would join the group to return it to G8 – continue to alert members G7. Russia was expelled from G8 after seizing Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. years.
Among international groups, G7 – whose members are, with the exception of Japan, all NATO allies – were the hardest in Russia.
