G7 talks seek to mend transatlantic rupture on IranFrench foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot acknowledges the world is going through a period of “tension and rivalry”. France will also on Monday host a separate G7 meeting bringing together finance ministers, energy ministers and central bank governors, Finance Minister Roland Lescure told RTL radio on Thursday. 'Misguided policies’While all G7 nations are close US allies, none have unambiguously offered support for the assault on Iran, angering Trump. British foreign minister Yvette Cooper on Tuesday voiced unease that the war had shifted focus away from the Gaza peace plan and violence in the occupied West Bank. Over four years into Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Barrot told AFP that support “for the Ukrainian resistance” and pressure on Russia would continue.
