Secretary of State Antony Blinken is embarking on a diplomatic trip to Europe, with a focus on key international issues. The trip will include meetings with foreign ministers from the Group of Seven (G7) countries and bilateral discussions outside Rome.
The G7, consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, has been actively supporting Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022. The Biden administration aims to ensure continued and increased support for Ukraine amid concerns about potential shifts in U.S. foreign policy under the incoming administration.
