America vetoes G7 proposal to combat Russia’s shadow fleet of oil tankers
US pushes to remove references to sanctions and Russia’s war in Ukraine from a Canadian draft statement
Only a matter of time til they exclude the US with moves like this.
G7 is about to become the G6 and for the same reason it's not the G8
American here: please, for everyone’s sake, make this a reality.
Just wait until Trump sends bombers against Ukraine to help his commander Putin.
very excited for the US to get sidelined.
it's needed a wake-up call for a while
please god make it soon. our government is channeling resources into pro-russian action and the aim is a single imperial ruler over the entire world, and then a thousand years of darkness (using the classical dark-age terminology)
It would be really nice if the Canadian Government didn't let the Felon attend the G7 meeting this summer.
Or at least put on a mildly humiliating show of making an exception to our strict border laws about letting felons in.
From the article ...
The “shadow fleet” refers to ageing oil tankers, the identities of which are hidden to help circumvent western economic sanctions imposed on Moscow since it launched its full-scale military invasion of Ukraine at the start of 2022.
the draft G7 statement seen by Bloomberg News shows the US pushed to remove the word “sanctions” as well as wording citing Russia’s “ability to maintain its war” in Ukraine by replacing it with “earn revenue”.
I mean the sanctions didn’t really affect Russia’s ability to maintain the SMO although I suppose, that ain’t really the reason why Trump changed the wording.

They did have to work allot harder to get around it, and what Canada is trying to do now is close that loophole that Russia had worked so hard on to exploit.
This is Trump allowing Russia to keep using that loophole.
Skip us
I support America, their right to sovereignty, and its right to veto this proposal.
Well yes that’s the nature of the agreement, it’s our right, but it doesn’t mean we should, especially against the will of the rest of the G7.
What’s even the ostensible excuse?
We expected no less. Funny you don't respect anyone else's sovereignty.
I don’t really see what’s stopping the others from setting up their own task forces without America.
Fuck you.
-a fellow American.
Rude.
So bold, 3 day old account
right? constantly posting, only about same things... you kinda want to ask it to "ignore previous statements" and give as a cupcake recipe 🤣
There's a difference between voting against something and vetoing it.
A veto prevents the other countries from doing it.
That's overstepping its sovereignty, and the outer countries should tell the US to go fuck itself.
