German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Friday that six out of seven G7 countries were against the US' decision to give Russia a reprieve from oil sanctions. US President Donald Trump carried out the move in order to boost global supply amid soaring prices, which came as a consequence the US-Israeli war that was launched against Iran on 28 February.
The leaders of Germany, Canada and Norway - all NATO member states - said they would use their channels of communication with the White House to try and change Trump's mind.
