Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven industrialized democracies began two days of talks in Paris on Monday as they grapple with multiple unresolved global crises amid questions about how U.S. President Donald Trump will approach foreign policy after his Republican Party’s heavy losses in the midterm elections.
