## Summary

European foreign ministers are expected to press US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at G7 talks in Paris over how Washington will approach the Ukraine war and conflict with Iran. They want any settlement with Russia to be fair to Ukraine and hope to avoid renewed escalation with Iran, amid uncertainty over US policy after President Donald Trump’s Republican Party suffered heavy losses in the midterm elections.

The two-day meeting brings together ministers from the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. Other concerns include energy security and artificial intelligence, while European partners have expressed unease over US positions on Ukraine, NATO and the International Criminal Court. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Europe must be involved in finding a solution to the war.
