US Is Refusing To Compromise On Health And Climate Issues With Its G7 Allies
The Trump administration is blocking all references to climate change, sexual and reproductive rights, and universal health coverage, in the conclusions of a G7 meeting of health ministers taking place in Milan on Sunday and Monday, BuzzFeed News has learned.
As the health ministries of the world’s seven most advanced economies prepared to meet in Italy, US negotiators spent the past week steadfastly blocking all attempts to reach a compromise on the three issues, sources with knowledge of the negotiations’ progress told BuzzFeed News.
The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the negotiations.
