Reuters. G7 foreign ministers held a working session on peace and security on Friday (March 27) afternoon as a two-day ministerial summit in France approached its final hours.
European foreign ministers on Friday used the summit held near Paris with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to press the case that Russia was helping Iran target U.S. forces in the Middle East war.
Rubio joined the second day of the gathering of ministers of leading Western democracies, taking place amid wars in Iran and Ukraine, economic uncertainty and mounting unease over unpredictable U.S. foreign policy under Donald Trump.
The ministers were also expected to discuss the Strait of Hormuz, the critical Gulf waterway for the transport of oil and gas which Iran has effectively blocked, spiking energy prices and roiling financial markets.
