"We reaffirm the importance of safeguarding maritime routes, and safety of navigation ... as well as the safety and security of supply chains and the stability of energy markets"
So they are for the backing of an illegal war because it's affecting pocket books. They aren't condeming the Israel/US coaltion - the ones that started this - for no goddamn reason at all, no they are condemning a country that has been attacked. So disgusting. And even as they show support trump is throwing that support in their faces by waiving sanctions for Iran for oil (at sea). And per the AP - "The Republican president then suggested the U.S. could pull out of the conflict without stabilizing the Strait of Hormuz, the channel through which about one-fifth of the world’s oil supply travels. The strait has been ravaged by Iranian missile, drone and mine attacks during the war. so where would that leave the G7?
