Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) countries are convening in Canada amid escalating tensions with the United States over a range of issues, including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and U.S. tariffs. The meeting, taking place in the Charlevoix region of Quebec, is set to address the U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, which has been agreed upon by Kyiv. The G7 gathering is overshadowed by the U.S.'s trade policies, with Canada and the European Union responding to the imposition of 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the U.S. with retaliatory measures. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly has emphasized the need for unity among G7 nations in opposing these tariffs, which she described as part of an unjustifiable trade war. The discussions are also influenced by U.S. President Donald Trump's recent comments about potentially annexing Canada as the 51st state, a notion that has been firmly rejected by Canadian officials. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, attending the meeting, has clarified that the G7 discussions will not focus on such proposals but on broader geopolitical challenges, including the situation in Ukraine and North American security.
