US Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently held talks with allies at the G7 Summit in Liverpool.

Blinken’s weekend talks with several of his counterparts come amid rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine. During the discussion, the leaders began to share their concerns.

A spokesman on Saturday said Blinken and British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss emphasized the importance of coordination between the US and the UK. She stressed the need to prevent further Russian aggression.

“We need to protect ourselves against the growing threats from hostile actors. And we need strong cooperation to fight aggressors who seek to limit the limits of freedom and democracy,” Mr. Truss said.

Truss said a stronger united voice was needed and it was important to bring more countries into the fold to stand up for the same values.
