BIARRITZ, France - French President Emmanuel Macron paved the way at a G7 summit for a diplomatic solution to the standoff between Washington and Tehran over a 2015 nuclear deal, but there was little else to show from a meeting at which allies were sharply divided.
“What unites us, and that is a big step forward, is that we not only don’t want Iran to have nuclear weapons, but we also find the solution to that via political means,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said at the end of the gathering. These ranged from Washington’s escalating trade war with China, which many fear could tip the slowing world economy into recession, how to deal with North Korea’s nuclear ambitions and the question of whether Russian President Vladimir Putin should be readmitted to the group.
Trump offered an olive branch to China after days of intense feuding between the world’s two largest economies over trade that has spooked financial markets and worried his G7 allies. He hailed Chinese President Xi Jinping as a great leader and said the prospect of talks was a very positive development.NO CONSENSUS ON BRINGING RUSSIA BACK
