G-7 Summit in Canada Comes to End
Kananaskis, Canada, June 17 (Jiji Press)--A two-day Group of Seven summit in Kananaskis, western Canada, ended on Tuesday, with leaders signing joint statements on six areas, including artificial intelligence and supply chains for critical minerals.
Mark Carney, the prime minister of Canada, which hosted the meeting, released a chair's summary saying that "G-7 leaders expressed support for (U.S.) President (Donald) Trump's efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine."
But the leaders of the G-7 major powers, which also include Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan plus the European Union, did not issue a joint statement on assistance to Ukraine amid Russia's invasion. This was likely due to a disagreement between the United States and the rest of the G-7 members after the U.S. side pushed for a watered-down expression in a draft statement that had been agreed by the remaining member states.
