US EditionMarco Rubio meets G7 counterparts in France amid Iran war
Marco Rubio met G7 foreign ministers in France to seek support amid the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz blockade impacting 20% of global oil, officials said.
- On Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in France for G7 talks, seeking to rally allies to support U.S. strategy regarding the Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz blockade despite growing skepticism among partner nations.
- President Donald Trump slammed NATO on Thursday for failing to support the military operation, while French defense officials expressed frustration that Washington did not notify them before initiating hostilities in the Near and Middle East.
- The virtual blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted global energy supplies, with about 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas passing through the waterway, prompting calls for diplomatic solutions from concerned allies.
- Without a joint communique, the meeting underscores deep divisions among G7 members; British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper urged a "swift resolution to this conflict that restores regional stability" to reopen the critical shipping lane.
- With President Trump's April 6 deadline for Iran to reopen the strait looming, Rubio faces the difficult task of reconciling U.S. objectives with allies who fear military action could trigger further regional destabilization.
