U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel to Canada’s Niagara region this week to attend a meeting of Group of Seven foreign ministers, where discussions will focus on international peace and security.
Rubio’s office said he will take part in discussions on U.S. President Donald Trump’s diplomatic initiatives concerning Ukraine and Gaza, as well as broader security matters involving Haiti, Sudan, maritime routes, critical minerals, and global supply chains.
The two-day gathering, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday in Niagara, Ontario, will include foreign ministers from the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Britain. It follows the G7 leaders’ summit in June, where members differed over how to address Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended that summit and has since continued seeking further military support from the United States. During a meeting in Washington last month, Trump said he believed negotiations over territory could help bring an end to the conflict.
Canada’s foreign ministry said representatives from Australia, Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, South Korea, South Africa, and Ukraine have also been invited to join this week’s discussions in Niagara.
