US opposition to Group Seven’s plan to confront Russia

Since Donald Trump’s return to the White House, Washington’s approach to classical American allies (Western countries) has taken a new ones, and US and other Western relations have been in tensions.

One of the points of the US and other Western countries, especially Europe, is the issue of Russia and the Ukrainian war. Trump, who claims to end the Ukrainian war, also seeks to approach Russia.

On Saturday evening, Bloomberg’s American magazine quoted sources as saying that the Trump administration had opposed the Canadian proposal in Group Seven to put the Russian oil tanker fleet.

Canada, which heads the Group Seven period, will host the Foreign Ministers’ meeting next week. Informed sources told Bloomberg that the United States is trying to change the group’s approach to Yen and at the same time diminishing the group’s statements about Russia.

In addition to Vetwi, Canada’s proposal to create a working group to oversee Russian sanctions violations, the draft group statement by Bloomberg shows that the United States is trying to remove the word “sanctions”, as well as a “Russian ability to maintain its war in Ukraine” by replacing it by “making money”.

The United States, in terms of sea safety and security, pressured China’s name directly, including the risk of “life and livelihoods” caused by its actions to “implement illegal marine claims”, its aerial maneuvers, and in particular the South China Sea.

Group seven statements are not final until it is published through the group, and negotiations can still make significant changes before or during the summit.

However, according to Bloomberg, US efforts and its explicit opposition to Canada’s proposal on Russia indicate wider changes in US foreign policy.

Disagreement between the West and the US

“The relations between the United States and other Western powers have been significantly disrupted,” the American Magazine wrote. For example, last month, after US opposition to Russia’s strong condemnation, US allies failed to publish a joint statement on the occasion of Russia’s third -grade invasion of Ukraine. “

Informed sources also told Bloomberg that Washington is in a statement to Group Seven about maritime stability as well as trying to create a maritime observatory to track borderline changes. This is a key issue in maritime conflicts worldwide, including in the South China Sea.

“US diplomats have informed their counterparts that the move was due to Washington’s stance in multilateral organizations and has made it unable to join any new project,” the American magazine quoted sources as saying.

According to Bloomberg, Trump’s second round of presidency in the White House changed the norms of decades of US foreign policy in just a month and a half, forcing its allies to seek their security guarantees. European leaders gathered this week for an emergency meeting in Brussels to raise the defense costs widely, as the future of US participation in coalitions, including NATO, has become a puzzle.

In a sign of Trump’s influence on foreign policy of traditional US allies, the separate draft of the original statement, which Bloomberg also saw, shows that any reference to Russian rape of Ukraine has disappeared and instead welcomes “all efforts” to agree to the ceasefire in Ukraine.

Under such circumstances, many US experts, such as Farid Zakaria, a presenter and expert of CNN, admit that Trump is “destroying” the world order after World War II, and that with the end of his second term, the world order will no longer be similar to the past.
