KANANASKIS, Alberta (Reuters) -Canada dropped plans for the Group of Seven to issue a strong statement on the Ukraine war after resistance from the United States, a Canadian official told reporters on the sidelines of a leaders' summit on Tuesday.
The official said the U.S. side wanted to water down the draft statement and Canada felt this would not be fair to Ukraine, whose president arrived at the summit on Tuesday.
The language agreed to by the remaining six members of the grouping will be contained in a statement that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is due to issue later in the day, the official said.
