G7 Foreign Ministers Assess Impact of US Midterm Elections in Paris
G7 foreign ministers have gathered in Paris to discuss the potential impact of the US midterm election results on foreign policy. The war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and relations with Iran are the main agenda items.
G7 foreign ministers met in Paris on Monday to assess whether the US midterm elections will change the Trump administration's approach to Ukraine, the Middle East, and relations with allies.
The meeting, which was moved from Marseille to Paris due to security concerns, marks the first discussion between US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his allies following the elections. The issue of Iran is particularly prominent in the talks, though Rubio noted that expectations for a breakthrough are low.
The meeting also addresses the war in Ukraine and Russia's attacks on energy infrastructure. In this context, preparations for planned trilateral talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the US in Abu Dhabi are being evaluated. G7 countries aim to maintain pressure on Russia and increase support for Ukraine.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani stated that hybrid threats, such as cyberattacks and flight alerts across Europe, were also discussed comprehensively at the summit.
