The US has rejected a Canadian proposal to establish a task force that would tackle Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” of oil tankers, according to reports last night.
Canada, which has the current Group of Seven presidency, proposed the measure ahead of a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in Quebec later this week.
In negotiations to agree a joint statement on maritime issues, the US is pushing to strengthen language about China while watering down wording on Russia, the reports said.
You act like it’s an America problem and not a billionaire problem. Where do you live that you think the same billionaires don’t own you too?
We need to transcend nations before we all die and a handful of oligarchs have power forever.
Lmao Don’t act like people from the US didn’t vote for exactly this. This is an America problem. Through and through. FAFO
Americans absolutely did not vote for this! You call an election where one man can pay out a quarter billion - legally - a fair election? Do you think 90% of Russians vote for Putin too? We’re cooked and getting more cooked. Point and laugh and act like this isn’t bad news for the world.
Voted for it twice. C’mon now. This has been a long time coming. Trump-phenomenon didn’t happen overnight or in this last election.
And I’m not pointing or laughing. I didn’t learn English because it’s fun, I dreamed about living the American dream. I believed in the US. I grew up on GI Joe. It’s sad actually. I remember when the USSR was the enemy and now y’alls UN vote is aligned. The US soft power has plummeted.
