Some European counterparts thought U.S. annexation threats are a ‘joke’ during G7 meeting, Joly says
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says some of her G7 counterparts from Europe thought the United States is joking about annexing Canada.
Ms. Joly’s comments come after symbolic gestures and tepid comments on Canadian sovereignty at this week’s G7 meeting, which took place in the region of Charlevoix in Quebec.
“I think many of my colleagues coming here thought this issue was still a joke and that this had to be taken in a humorous way,” Ms. Joly said in a news conference concluding the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting.
