Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly received symbolic support from her G7 counterparts amid U.S. antagonism toward Canada as officials met in Quebec to tackle the world’s top geopolitical challenges.
Officials from Japan, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, the European Union and the United States are in the region of Charlevoix in Quebec this week for the foreign ministers’ meeting.
In an apparent sign of solidarity, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and EU Foreign Minister Kaja Kallas wore white and red outfits respectively on Thursday, representing the Canadian flag colours.
Ms. Baerbock posted a picture of the two them on X with the caption “We’ve got your back,” tagging Ms. Joly.
The U.S. has found itself at odds with several G7 nations over both trade and Ukraine since President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Tensions have been particularly acute with Canada as Mr. Trump repeatedly suggests it should become the 51st state.
