Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office are retracting comments that the United States wanted to water a statement on the Russian war in Ukraine on the last day of the G7 summit in Alberta.
After the final comments of the G7 on Tuesday night, Prime Minister Carney was questioned about the absence of a joint statement on Ukraine. He said that leaders concentrated on a statement on the “exceptionally fast situation in Iran”, but eluded questions about whether the absence of a statement of Ukraine was due to a disagreement with the United States about language with respect to Russia’s invasion. The Carney Chair Summary included language on Ukraine.
On Tuesday afternoon, an official of the Prime Minister’s office told multiple media journalists that a joint statement in Ukraine was being discussed, but finally did not advance because the United States would not agree with the final writing.
The official, who spoke with the condition that they were not appointed, said that the Americans did not want some of the pointed comments about Russia to be included in the joint statement because they feared that it committed the negotiations with that country to end their war.
That led to an unusual closing press conference in which journalists looked for a bray clarity about what happened with Scuttle the statement.
Carney, as host, said he issued a chair statement that “expressed his support for the president [Donald] Trump’s efforts to achieve a fair and lasting peace in Ukraine “and” acknowledged that Ukraine has committed to a high unconditional fire, and agreed that Russia must do the same. “He said that the seven leaders agreed with that writing.
And the prime minister said that Canada would have prepared to go further in their official language about Ukraine than what ended on paper.
“There would be things that some of us, including Canada, would say beyond what was said in the chair summary,” he said after being splashed by repeated questions about the lack of a joint statement.
“But the recognition of the importance of President Trump’s initiative to achieve lasting peace agrees that we are determined to seek all the options to maximize the pressure on Russia, including financial sanctions.”
Two hours later, a Carney spokesman said there was never a plan for a joint statement. Emily Williams wrote that “Canada’s intention was always for the important language to be part of the summary statement of the presidents of the G7, and it was.”
The setback is a signal signal can be the deal with Trump. And it comes the same day that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke at the high -level meeting in Kananaskis, high., Where he requested a peace agreement.
The sources of the Ukrainian delegation told CBC News Zelenskyy reduced their visit to Canada, after a deadly bombing on the Ukrainian capital during the night and the decision of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, of omitting Tuesday’s program.
Trump went Monday night, citing the conflict of the Middle East.
Trump met with his National Security Council in Washington on Tuesday to discuss war between Israel and Iran.
The source said Zelenskyy will return to Kyiv after the conversations in Kananaskis conclude. He has canceled a press conference planned in Calgary.
Carney also cited the growing situation in Iran, which the G7 issued a joint statement about Monday night, as another reason that he celebrated Ukraine comments for his chair summary.
He requested a “decalcalation” of hostilities in the Middle East. It affirms the right of Israel to defend and recognize Iran as “the main source of regional instability and terror”, but also demands some type of “resolution.”
“We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader reduction in hostilities in the Middle East, including a high fire in Gaza,” said the statement, became public after Monday’s work dinner.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a series of new measures to support Ukraine, including what the prime minister’s office is invoicing as a new attempt to aim at “Russian shadow flowers and energy income” with sanctions.
The G7, composed of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States together with the European Union, found a consensus on some articles, reflecting the list of priorities that Carney had already presented before the helicopters of the leaders demolished in the Canadian rockies on Sunday.
They include the Kananaskis Wildfire letter and statements on transnational repression, counteract the smuggling of migrants, artificial intelligence and a promise to collaborate in quantum technology.
There is a long critical mineral action plan of the G7 to ensure critical mineral supply chains to store the necessary material for defense and technology such as Germanio, Gallium and Graphite.
Canada could benefit given How many of those minerals can be found in this country?.
The forest fire letter is also close to Canada’s interests, after consecutive forest fire seasons. In an effort to turn fires more quickly around the world, the group agreed to “improve interoperability” so that the fire extinguishing teams of a country can be used in others, along with other commitments. The objective is for firefighters to deploy more easily where the need is greater.
