Secretary of State Antony Blinken is heading to Europe for a diplomatic trip that includes a G7 meeting focusing on the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Biden administration is concerned about how President-elect Donald Trump's team may alter U.S. foreign policy. The G7 members are particularly concerned about Trump's potential changes to the U.S. approach to Ukraine. Trump has criticized the Biden administration's support for Ukraine and suggested he could end the war in 24 hours by pressuring Ukraine to surrender territory to Russia. The G7 will also discuss the war in Gaza and efforts to establish governance and reconstruction mechanisms for the territory. Blinken will also address China's aggressiveness and trade disputes, and meet with Pope Francis before returning to Washington.
