Top diplomats from the Group of 7 industrialized democracies agreed Friday on a joint statement expressing support for Ukraine and a U.S. ceasefire proposal in the three-year-old war even as President Donald Trump’s trade policies and taunts toward host Canada overshadowed the talks.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied the U.S. was in a trade war Friday as he wrapped up his trip to a meeting of top diplomats from the G7 industrialized democracies.

Diplomats from the G7 nations were set to negotiate late into the night over a joint statement to show a united front in Canada on Thursday after weeks of tension between U.S. allies and President Donald Trump over his upending of Western trade and security policy.

Trump and his aides have reportedly threatened to redraw the northern border, go after Canada’s minerals and water, and cancel NORAD.

President Donald Trump backed down from an extraordinary trade war escalation Tuesday that had threatened a massive surge in Canadian steel and aluminum tariffs and new tariffs on Canadian electricity.
