Cctv newsOn 25th, the G-7 summit held the first day of discussion. The summit discussed the Iranian nuclear issue, global trade frictions, Amazon forest fires and global inequality.
However, no concrete results have been achieved on major international issues. Analysts believe that the tension between the G-7 countries remains the same, and the pattern of "Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan against the United States" remains unchanged.
This "6+1" situation of the G-7 is very obvious on the issue of Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif’s surprise visit to the summit venue on the 25th.
Iranian foreign minister’s surprise visit to the United States continuously denied the French statement
An official from the French diplomatic department revealed that the United States and other countries attending the meeting had been informed of Zarif’s arrival. But just a few hours later, the White House came out and said that it didn’t know Zarif would come to biarritz and had no plans to meet with Zarif. On the 24th of the previous day, French diplomatic channels revealed that the leaders of the seven countries hoped to hold a dialogue through France and then transmit the information to the United States. However, US President Trump directly denied it on the 25th, saying that he had not made a similar statement. Reuters directly commented that the tension at the G-7 summit had surfaced.
The United States and Britain have different views on the issue of trade friction.
The same problem also appears on the issue of global trade friction. On the morning of 25th, Trump held talks with British Prime Minister Johnson. During the talks, Trump said that other countries did not put pressure on him on the issue of trade friction. But Johnson immediately suggested that he hoped to avoid trade friction.
The tension stems from the US government. "unpredictability"
Some analysts believe that the emergence of tensions between the G-7 countries almost all stems from the unpredictability since the Trump administration took office in the United States. At the G-7 summit in 2018, after the release of the joint communique, Trump suddenly said that he did not recognize the communique, which caught the heads of other six countries off guard. On the 26th, whether there will be a joint communique has become a big point of view.
