US veto G -7 shadow fleet task force plan indicates more changes

,

Canada, which organizes this year’s Revolving G -7 Presidency, will host a summit of foreign ministers in next week, Quebec, Quebec. In a conversation to prepare a joint statement on maritime issues, the US is insisting on strengthening the language around China while watering words on Russia, said people who asked not to discuss sensitive matters who are not public.

The term “shadow fleet” is used to refer to hidden oil tankers to remove the Western restrictions imposed on Moscow as it began a full -scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Vitoning Canada’s proposal to set up a task force to monitor the acceptance violations, the G -7 statement seen by Bloomberg News pushed America to remove the word “restrictions”, as well as referring to Russia’s “ability to maintain its war”, said that “Earn Revenue.”

In the vicinity around marine security and security, the US pushed directly to China, implementing illegal marine claims by referring to the risk of “life and livelihood”, “its aerial maneuvers and the South China Sea especially.

The G -7 communics are not final until they are published through consensus, and the dialogue can still make significant changes before or during the summit.

Nevertheless, relations between the US and other Western powers have provoked a large extent. Last month, for example, the collaborative Russia was unable to publish a joint statement to mark the third anniversary of Ukraine’s full-scale invasion-something that he had done in the last two years-after the resistance of Russia’s strong condemnation by America.

Washington is also pushing back against contexts of maritime stability, said people said, as well as attempts to create a sea observatory to track border changes. This is an important issue in maritime struggles globally, including the South China Sea.

American diplomats have informed their counterparts that the step was due to the revaluation of their position in multilateral organizations in Washington, unable to join any new initiative, people said.

A spokesperson of Canadian External Affairs Minister Melani Jolie refused to comment on the ongoing conversation. The US State Department spokespersons did not respond to an immediate email request for comments.

The second term of President Donald Trump at the White House met the decades of foreign policy in a month and a half, which inspired the colleagues to establish their safety guarantee. European leaders gathered in Brussels for an emergency summit this week, with an approach to increase defense spending on a large scale, as the future of American partnership in coalition including NATO is hanged in balance as a future.

In the indication of Trump’s impact on the foreign policy of traditional American colleagues, a separate draft of the main communication seen by Bloomberg, any mention of Russian aggression has disappeared, welcoming “all efforts” to agree to a ceasefire.
