PARIS — Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven leading industrialised nations opened two days of talks in Paris on Monday, 9 November 2026, with Europe pressing the United States for a fair Ukraine settlement and restraint towards Iran, in the allies' first gathering since the Democrats won Congress in last week's midterms. The meeting runs through Tuesday, 10 November, and brings together the foreign ministers of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States, alongside the European Union. Ministers from Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, South Korea and Brazil are also attending parts of the talks, diplomats told Reuters. All eyes are on United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio, attending both days — unlike in March, when he came for one. It is his first trip abroad since the midterms, and American media have discussed him as a potential successor to President Donald Trump.
