The Group of Seven leaders aim to end their first summit in two years with a punchy set of promises Sunday, including vaccinating the world against coronavirus, making huge corporations pay their fair share of taxes and tackling climate change with a blend of technology and money.They want to show that international cooperation is back after the upheavals caused by the pandemic and the unpredictability of former U.S. President Donald Trump. And they want to convey that the club of wealthy democracies 맥스카지노� Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States 맥스카지노� is a better friend to poorer nations than authoritarian rivals such as China.But it was uncertain how firm the group맥스카지노�s commitments will be on coronavirus vaccines, the economy and the environment when the leaders issue their final communique. Also unclear was whether all of the leaders would back the United States맥스카지노� call to chastise China for repressing its Uyghur minority and other abuses.U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the summit's host, wanted the three-day meeting to fly the flag for a 맥스카지노�Global Britain,맥스카지노� his government's push to give the midsized country outsized global influence.Yet Brexit cast a shadow over that goal during the summit on the coast of southwest England. European Union leaders and U.S. President Joe Biden voiced concerns about problems with new U.K.-EU trade rules that have heightened tensions in Northern Ireland.But overall, the mood has been positive: The leaders smiled for the cameras on the beach at cliff-fringed Carbis Bay, a village and resort that became a traffic-clogged fortress for the meeting. The last G-7 summit was in France in 2019, with last year's event in the United States scuttled by the pandemic.The leaders mingled with Queen Elizabeth II at a royal reception on their first evening and were served steak and lobster at a beach barbecue after watching an aeronautic display by the Royal Air Force Red Arrows on their second.America맥스카지노�s allies were visibly relieved to have the U.S. back as an engaged international player after the 맥스카지노�America First맥스카지노� policy of the Trump administration.맥스카지노�The United States is back, and democracies of the world are standing together,맥스카지노� Biden said as he arrived in the U.K. on the first foreign trip of his 5-month-old presidency. After the G-7 summit, the president will have tea with the queen on Sunday, attend a NATO summit in Brussels on Monday and hold talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Geneva on Wednesday.At the G-7, Johnson described Biden as a 맥스카지노�breath of fresh air.맥스카지노� French President Emmanuel Macron, after speaking one-to-one with Biden, said, 맥스카지노�It맥스카지노�s great to have a U.S. president part of the club and very willing to cooperate.맥스카지노�The re-energized G-7 made ambitious declarations during their meetings about girls맥스카지노� education, preventing future pandemics and financing greener infrastructure globally. Above all, they vowed to share vaccine doses with less well-off nations that urgently need them. Johnson said the group would pledge at least 1 billion doses, with half of that coming from the United States and 100 million from Britain.World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and other public health officials commended the vaccine pledge but said it's not enough. To truly end the pandemic, he said, 11 billion doses are needed to vaccinate at least 70% of the world's population by mid-2022.맥스카지노�We need more and we need them faster,맥스카지노� Tedros said.Climate change is a key focus of the leaders' final day of talks on Sunday, and the group is expected to announce new financing measures to help poorer countries reduce carbon emissions.The 맥스카지노�Build Back Better for the World맥스카지노� plan will promise to offer financing for infrastructure 맥스카지노� 맥스카지노�from railways in Africa to wind farms in Asia맥스카지노� 맥스카지노� to help speed up the global shift to renewable energy. The plan is a response to China맥스카지노�s 맥스카지노�belt and road맥스카지노� initiative, which has increased Beijing맥스카지노�s worldwide influence.Climate activists and analysts say filling a $100 billion annual fund to help poor countries tackle the effects of global warming should be at the top of the G-7맥스카지노�s list.All G-7 countries have pledged to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, but many environmentalists say that will be too little, too late.Naturalist David Attenborough addressed the leaders by video Sunday, warning that humanity is "on the verge of destabilizing the entire planet.맥스카지노�맥스카지노�If that is so, then the decisions we make this decade 맥스카지노� in particular the decisions made by the most economically advanced nations 맥스카지노� are the most important in human history,맥스카지노� the veteran documentary filmmaker said.Max Lawson, head of inequality policy for Oxfam International, welcomed plans to boost investment to help poor countries reduce their carbon footprints but said "it doesn맥스카지노�t help the poor people that are being hit by climate change right now.맥스카지노�"So, yes, it맥스카지노�s probably a good thing but is it enough? Absolutely not,맥스카지노� he said.Large crowds of surfers and kayakers took to the sea in a mass protest Saturday to urge better protections for the world's oceans, while thousands beat drums as they marched outside the summit맥스카지노�s media center in Falmouth.맥스카지노�G-7 is all greenwashing,맥스카지노� the protesters sang. 맥스카지노�We맥스카지노�re drowning in promises, now맥스카지노�s the time to act.맥스카지노�White House officials also said Biden wants the G-7 leaders to speak in a single voice against the forced labor practices targeting China맥스카지노�s Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities. Biden hopes the denunciation will be part of a joint statement Sunday, but some European allies are reluctant to split so forcefully with Beijing.Canada, Britain and France largely endorsed Biden맥스카지노�s position on China, while Germany, Italy and the European Union showed more hesitancy, according to two senior Biden administration officials.The leaders맥스카지노� final communique is also expected to formally embrace placing a global minimum tax of at least 15% on large multinational companies to stop corporations from using tax havens to avoid taxes.The minimum rate was championed by the U.S., and dovetails with the aim of Biden 맥스카지노� and Johnson 맥스카지노� to focus the summit on ways the democracies can collaborate to build a more inclusive, fair global economy and to compete with rising autocracies like China.Non-G-7 nations India, South Korea, Australia and South Africa were invited to attend as guests to bolster the group맥스카지노�s support for fellow democracies.___Lawless, Kirka and Hui reported from Falmouth, England.
