Rubio to attend G7 talks in Paris next week
The meeting will offer Washington's allies an early opportunity to gauge US foreign policy following the midterm elections.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to attend G7 talks in Paris next week, according to the state department. The discussions will focus on providing support for Ukraine and stabilizing the Middle East. This marks Rubio's first trip abroad since the Republican Party's significant losses in the US midterm elections, which resulted in Democrats gaining full control of Congress.
President Donald Trump, facing these changes in Congress, will have an opportunity to showcase his administration's stance during the G7 meeting on Monday and Tuesday. The talks, originally planned for Marseille, were moved to Paris at the last minute due to logistical reasons, although the shift comes amid nationwide cost-of-living protests in France.
G7 foreign ministers will discuss Ukraine's situation and efforts to stabilize the Middle East during their two-day meeting, which also includes Russia-Ukraine negotiations scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi.
