Top diplomats from the Group of Seven industrialized democracies are converging on southern Ontario as tensions rise between the U.S. and traditional allies like Canada over defense spending and trade. Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand tells The Associated Press “the relationship has to continue across a range of issues.” Anand hosts U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and their counterparts from Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan on Tuesday and Wednesday. Anand also has invited the foreign ministers of Australia, Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, South Korea, South Africa and Ukraine. The meeting comes after the U.S. ended trade talks with Canada when the Ontario provincial government ran an anti-tariff advertisement.
