Following to talks with Ukrainian counterparts to "advance the President’s goal to end the Russia-Ukraine war", Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel to Charlevoix, Canada.

According to a statement from the U.S. State Department, Rubio will visit Canada from March 12-14 to meet with counterparts at the G7 Foreign Ministers’ meeting, aiming to "advance President Trump’s America First foreign policy agenda."

Secretary Rubio’s engagements will further U.S. interests in peace and security, strategic cooperation, and global stability, the statement reads.  

The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, will host the G7 Foreign Ministers’ meeting.

The G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting will include discussions on the ongoing support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s aggression, the situation in the Middle East and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. The meeting will also address significant issues in the Americas, including the ongoing crises in Haiti and Venezuela, as well as peace and security challenges in Africa, particularly in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

US Secretary of State said on Monday that the United States would oppose “antagonistic” language towards Russia when G7 foreign ministers meet in Canada 

The position is not about “taking anyone’s side, but because we feel like antagonistic language sometimes makes it harder to bring parties to the table”, Rubio said

Rubio acknowledged that the other members of the Group of Seven (G7) major advanced economies – Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan – felt differently.
