European states will present a united front on issues from Iran to trade and climate change at a Group of Seven summit starting on Friday but it is unclear if leaders will agree on a communique at the end, a senior German official said on Tuesday.
“Whether there will be a communique or not I don’t know,” the official told reporters at a briefing.
“Our aim is to get a joint communique but we have our positions to represent. It is not easier than in previous years. .. We will see,” the official added.
