German Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced that G7 leaders have agreed on a common position on trade, although differences remain.
"I start from the beginning that we will have a common text on trade. But this does not solve the problems in detail. "We have different perceptions of the United States."
He did not elaborate on the content of the final announcement, but said there would indeed be a joint statement.
This text, which is traditionally the culmination of every G7 summit, will, on the contrary, be distinguished from the US exception on environmental and climatic issues, in a "6 + 1" format as in previous international meetings with the United States. .
Regarding plastic pollution of the oceans, Merkel announced that the six leaders will commit to recycling all of their countries' plastics by 2030.
