Leaders of the world's largest industrial nations are meeting in Canada's Rockies with European countries seeking to keep the war in Ukraine firmly on the mind of U.S. President Donald Trump despite fighting breaking out between Israel and Iran in the Middle East.
“Last week, we put forward a proposal for an 18 sanctions package. I will invite all G7 partners to join us in this endeavour.”
Von der Leyen said that in talks with Trump on Saturday the two had agreed that like-minded countries should safeguard market stability, notably in the energy markets.
Regarding trade negotiations with the Trump administration, she said she preferred a negotiated solution ahead of a July 9 deadline, but that the bloc was preparing contingencies in the event no agreement was reached.
She reiterated Israel's right to defend itself, but stressed that a diplomatic solution was the best option in the long-term to address Iran's nuclear programme.
“The recent events have underlined the increasing interlinks between the conflicts in Europe on one hand and the Middle East on the other hand. The same type of Iranian designed and made drones and ballistic missiles are indiscriminately hitting cities in Ukraine and in Israel.”
