According to Bloomberg interlocutors, at the G7 summit in Canada, Trump disappointed allies, saying that US sanctions cost a lot of money. He repeated this argument during the dinner of the leaders, which took place behind the closed doors, the agency writes.

European countries are increasingly in doubt whether Trump can be trusted on further pressure on Russia and trying to win time, Bloomberg notes.

They add that Europeans continue to cooperate with the US President and do not want to annoy him, but at the same time they are looking for ways to help Ukraine in a situation where the US is less likely to help her.

It is known that public leaders of the Seven Group stated that a discussion with Trump on sanctions was positive.

In addition, it is expected that the statement made by Prime Minister of Canada Mark Karney will state that Ukraine has demonstrated readiness for ceasefire, unlike Russia, to which will need to press sanctions.
