Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Europe for talks with foreign ministers of the Group of 7 nations, amid tensions between the U.S. and Israel over Iran's war against them. The meeting comes at a critical moment in the four-week conflict, with President Trump promising progress in negotiations with Iran but sending thousands of troops to the region, raising concerns about a potential ground invasion. Rubio also suggested that other countries should contribute to securing the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has effectively shut down since the war. The G7 issued a joint statement condemning Iran's "unjustifiable attacks" against Gulf and Arab countries and expressing readiness to support global energy supply. However, President Trump has criticized European countries for withholding support or failing to heed calls for assistance from the U., and has taken exception to statements from Germany's Defense Minister Boris Pistorius that "it's not our war".
