Finance ministers of the G7 countries will discuss, among other issues, the war in Ukraine, the war in Iran, and the situation surrounding the Strait of Hormuz during their meeting in Paris.
According to Ukrinform, European Commissioner for Economy and Productivity Valdis Dombrovskis announced this, as cited by Sky News.
It is noted that today’s meeting of ministers in the French capital will also be used to reaffirm the need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as quickly as possible after Iran closed the waterway in response to U.S. and Israeli attacks in February.
According to Reuters, the two-day meeting is taking place amid disagreements among the world’s leading economies and following the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, which failed to produce any significant economic agreements.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who described the American delegation’s trip to China as “very successful,” said he would urge the G7 to maintain sanctions against Iran’s “war machine.”
