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.

      I love that you invoke FAFO and clearly don’t see the irony.

      btw, you’re acting exactly like the magats do.

      good luck staying in that ivory tower.

        Lordy what ivory tower? Lmao.

        How many decades has the united States told other countries how they are the shining beacon on the hill? How long has the US put their finger in latin America? How many more American guns need to come into my country.

        You all were told that electing that idiot into office would have horrendous outcomes, not only for the US, but for the world. Y’all did it twice. Hence the 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.
