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.
