US pushes to remove references to sanctions and Russia’s war in Ukraine from a Canadian draft statement

The US has rejected a Canadian proposal to establish a task force that would tackle Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” of oil tankers, according to reports last night.

Canada, which has the current Group of Seven presidency, proposed the measure ahead of a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in Quebec later this week.

In negotiations to agree a joint statement on maritime issues, the US is pushing to strengthen language about China while watering down wording on Russia, the reports said.

    Correct. Nice to see headlines reflecting the complicity of the nation.

    Fuck you, fix your country before we all die.

    Fuck you.

      You act like it’s an America problem and not a billionaire problem. Where do you live that you think the same billionaires don’t own you too?

      We need to transcend nations before we all die and a handful of oligarchs have power forever.
