Zelenskiy expected to sign separate security deal with Biden
welcomed the G7 heads of state to the summit at a luxury resort in Borgo Egnazia in southern Italy , saying she wanted the message of the meeting to be one of dialogue with the global south and unity.
With Mr Biden, UK prime minister Rishi Sunak and now French president Emmanuel Macron facing elections in the coming months, pressure is on the G7 to get done what it can while the status quo lasts. The issue is complicated because if the Russian assets are eventually unfrozen – for example, if the war ends – then the windfall profits will no longer be able to be used to pay off the loan, requiring a burden-sharing arrangement with other countries.
Ms Meloni goes into the meeting fortified at home and abroad after her far-right party had an even stronger showing in the European Parliament election than the national general election in 2022 that made her Italy’s first female premier. As a result, Ms Meloni is likely to be able to steer the three-day meeting to her key priority items as she further cements her role on the world stage, analysts said.
Italian foreign minister Antonio Tajani confirmed abortion is being discussed, but said talks are continuing.
