Foreigner foreign ministers agree on Ukraine’s policy amid tensions on the Trump tariff

Despite the high tensions between the Trump administration and the nearest American allies on the definitions and Ukraine, the foreign ministers of the 7 -year -old industrial democratic group who were meeting this week in Canada falsified a common floor in a dispensary that shines on many sharp differences.

Senior diplomats from Canada, the gathering host, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the meeting in the European Union in the town of La Malbay in the La Malbay resort in Charlevix, Quebec, presented a unified front with caution, especially in Ukraine, a major point from President Trump since he took office.

In a statement issued on Friday, the group confirmed its support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and is committed to supporting the “political aspirations” of Israelis and Palestinians, although it did not mention support for the two -state solution.

Access to some consensus on Ukraine and Russia was an achievement, given Mr. Trump’s general criticism of Kiev, although the group’s language on this topic was less intense than it was in the past years.

Foreign Minister Marco Rubio found himself among the allies in difficult circumstances, especially with his Canadian hosts, who are resenting Mr. Trump about the inclusion of their country and his conversion to “State 51”.

This discourse, which was waving over the 48 hours that the ministers spent together in Quebec, acquired a sharp reprimand from Canada’s foreign minister, Milani Jolie, who told reporters on Friday that she had told Mr. Rubio that “the sovereignty of Canada is not at the level of discussion, a period.”

“There is no argument, there is no conversation on this topic, there is no need to talk about it.” “You are here, you respect us, respect our sovereignty, you are in our country, you respect our people. For a while.”

Canada was also more assertive in asking the allies to defend its sovereignty, but the ministers in Quebec followed a high line between Canada’s support and avoiding getting the wrong side of Mr. Trump.

Annalena Baerbock, German Foreign Minister, and Kaja Calas, the highest diplomat of European Union, Publish pictures of themselves Wearing red and white, national colors in Canada. “We got your back,” said their post, directed to Mrs. Jolie.

“The borders are not applicable”, in Ukraine, in Greenland, in Panama, in Canada and anywhere in the world. “

On Thursday, Mr. Trump threatened 200 percent of the customs tariff for the exports of the European Union of alcohol, a message that has decreased poorly with France and Italy, the main countries that make alcohol in the mass between Group Seven.

And more definitions waved on the horizon on April 2, as Mr. Trump promised to restart a comprehensive restart in the United States’ commercial relationship with the world, by applying what he calls “mutual” definitions to commercial partners worldwide.

In the middle of the storm, Mr. Rubio, where his first appearance appeared at an international summit since he became the largest diplomat of Mr. Trump.

It was an embarrassing task for Mr. Rubio, given anger and confusion over Mr. Trump’s policies between officials at the meeting, and there were signs that he was not keen to spend more time with them too much. Mr. Rubio was significantly absent from a social event on Wednesday, as other ministers blocked S’Mores and from another event on Thursday included Tafy Tafy Tafy Tafy Tafy Tafy Tafy Tafy Tafy Tafy Tafy Taffy Taffy.

The complexity of the situation for Mr. Rubio was the shadow of Mr. Trump’s talk about the inclusion of the host nation for the gathering.

When the correspondents were asked on Monday about the last president’s talk that the 1908 treaty that defines the borders of the United States and Canada could be torn, Mr. Rubio looked shortly at a confusion of words. Then the topic refused by saying that he was “not on the agenda” for a group of 7 gathering.

When he was asked again on Wednesday about the threats of Mr. Trump, Mr. Rubio confirmed the points of unity between the United States and Canada, adding: “It is not a meeting on how to absorb Canada.”

Mr. Trump returned to the topic on Thursday, and he told reporters at the Oval Office that “Canada only works” as an American state. He added that the border treaty has created a “artificial line” “meaningless.”

On Friday, Mrs. Jolie and Mr. Rubio presented comments that distinguish the relationship between the two countries in almost two identical ways: “We will not let the things we do not agree to prevent us from agreeing on other things,” said Ms. Jolie.

In his final statements to reporters in Quebec, Mr. Rubio said: “We will not allow the things that we disagree on – we will disagree in things – to prevent us from working closely on the things we agree on.”

And any tense words may have with Mrs. Jolie to be separately, Mr. Rubio has not shown any sign of irritation, taking care to thank her for hosting her and adding that she is “a friend in the past few weeks.”

The final statement of the group “Regional Integrity and its right to existence” affirmed the Russian “Acts of aggression”. But it was more moderate than the seven group Explanation of the former leadersIn November 2024, which declared “fixed support for Ukraine as long as it took it,” Russia described it as “the only obstacle” towards peace.
