G7 finance ministers tackle global economic risks and debt challenges.

The G-7 finance ministers are meeting in Japan to discuss ways to support Ukraine and pressure Russia to end the war. They will also be discussing ways to prevent Russia and other countries from circumventing sanctions against Moscow for its invasion. Debt crises in developing countries and a stalemate in Washington over the national debt are also topping the agenda. The standoff over the U.S. debt ceiling and a potential default loomed as a major potential threat to the global economy.
