Russia will not return to G7 (the group of the world's seven most industrialized states) as United States President Donald Trump has requested, Germany's Finance Minister Joerg Kukies has said.
“G7 strongly condemns Russia's aggression fight, particularly on the third anniversary of Russia's brutal attack”, Cookies said in an interview for Reuters news agency, adding that the Trump proposal would not provide the necessary unanimous support.
Kukies will travel to Cape Town on Tuesday for the G20 finance ministers' summit, while US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will be missing because of other commitments.
The current state of the global economy will be the key topic of meetings.
We should really go back to economic development “, Cookies said. Germany “has many homework to do”, he added.
Kukies was appointed finance minister by outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz in November after Scholzi's ruling coalition collapsed with no confidence vote, and is expected to serve in the post until a new government is formed after Sunday's elections, which won the conservatives of Friedrich Merzi.
A trade struggle between the US and Europe can be avoided, while both sides are willing to negotiate, Kukies have said. “No one is interested in starting trade war”, he has indicated.
