US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to depart for a G7 ministerial meeting in France today, as prospects for a diplomatic breakthrough with Iran continue to fade and disagreements remain between the US and many of its G7 partners over the war.
Rubio heads to the ministerial meeting, which is being held outside Paris in Vaux-de-Cernay, as President Donald Trump continues to attack members of the G7 and NATO for what he calls a failure in supporting the US war effort.
“They weren’t there. So what makes you think they would be there if we needed them for something?” Trump said at a cabinet meeting earlier.
The US has also sought to pressure the G7 to send military assets to open the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the French foreign ministry, the G7 partners will discuss possible paths for negotiations on the war in Iran, the reopening of sea and trade routes, and the cessation of Iran's nuclear and ballistic programs.
Ukraine is also expected to be a key topic of the meeting, and the French ministry said the aim is to continue supporting Kiev in terms of capabilities and energy and to put pressure on Russia.
The US has temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian oil and there are concerns about the impact the Iran war will have on military supplies to Ukraine.
