The US secretary of state arrived on Wednesday for a two-day summit with other foreign ministers from allied G7 countries at the river resort of La Malbaie, the first such gathering since Trump retook power with his \u201cAmerica first\u201d agenda.<\/p>\n<p>When asked en route by reporters about Trump\u2019s repeated comments on making Canada the 51st US state, Rubio said Washington was working on a number of issues, including defence and Ukraine. \u201cWe\u2019re going to be focused in G7 on all of those things. That\u2019s what the meeting is about,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is not a meeting about how we\u2019re going to take over Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The G7, which includes France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the UK, was set up to coordinate responses from powerful democracies on global issues. On the official agenda was Ukraine, Sudan and the Middle East, as well as the Indo-Pacific region, where China has been vying for influence.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio says he wants the G7 to be \u201cconstructive\u201d but Trump\u2019s unpredictable foreign policy has left Washington\u2019s longtime allies scrambling. European countries descended further into a tit-for-tat trade war with the US on Wednesday after Trump\u2019s tariffs on all US steel and aluminium imports took effect. Relations with Canada have reached a particular low, and Canada announced billions of dollars more in retaliatory tariffs on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio will be arriving in a country that has united around opposition to Trump and his hyper-nationalist US ideology. At recent hockey matches with US teams, the US national anthem has been booed, while US-made bourbon whiskeys are being removed from shop shelves. The outgoing prime minister, Justin Trudeau, whom Trump has mocked as a \u201cgovernor\u201d, has called the US tariffs \u201cdumb\u201d and gone on the offensive with a \u201cTeam Canada\u201d approach to the southern threat.<\/p>\n<p>The US state department has said that the secretary of state is heading to the G7 meeting to \u201cadvance President Trump\u2019s \u2018America first\u2019 foreign policy agenda\u201d. Trump, meanwhile, repeated on Tuesday his desire to annex Canada. \u201cThe only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State,\u201d he wrote online.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2025\/mar\/12\/marco-rubio-canada-g7-meeting\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/rubio-says-trumps-51st-state-plan-not-on-g7-summit-agenda-in-canada\/\">Rubio says Trump\u2019s \u201851st state\u2019 plan not on G7 summit agenda in Canada<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1544,18211,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-138196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-canada","tag-g7-summit-agenda","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138196\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
