Prime Minister pushes for co-ordinated action on Ukraine war while US President launches $600bn infrastructure fund to bypass Beijing

and Joe Biden have warned as fears grow that some countries may abandon their support for Ukraine.as leaders of the world’s largest wealthy democracies met in Germany for a G7 summit.

The Prime Minister said: “In order to protect that unity, in order to make it work, we’ve got to have really, really honest discussions about the implications of what’s going on, the pressures that individual friends and partners are feeling, that populations are feeling – whether it’s on the costs of their energy or food or whatever.

Asked whether he was happy with France and Germany’s contribution, the Prime Minister lavished praise on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz but did not mention the French President.Mr Johnson told aides privately that he had rekindled “le bromance” with Mr Macron despite fears the pair would row over issues including Ukraine, the Channel small boats crisis and the mistreatment of Liverpool fans at the Champions’ League final in Paris.

The UK, US, Canada and Japan – not joined by France, Germany or Italy – announced a co-ordinated plan to ban all imports of gold from Russia, which is the country’s second-largest export industry behind energy. A large majority of Russian gold is currently traded through London but the sanctions mean it will no longer be able to enter Britain.

Britain is spending £10m helping Ukraine’s government repair rail infrastructure which has been damaged by the Kremlin’s attacks, and is also deploying a team of “grain detectives” who will use radioactive isotopes to examine whether any grain being sold by Russia on global markets was originally looted from Ukraine.
