Bloomberg: Trudeau, Johnson and Macron were shocked by the reversal of abortion rights in the United States
British Prime Minister Johnson and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau reacted "without waiting for Biden to respond", and both abandoned diplomatic etiquette on the matter, both voicing their frustration.
During his visit to Rwanda, Johnson was quick to comment on the U.S. Supreme Court's overturn of the Roe v. Wade ruling, saying, "I must tell you that I think this is a big step backwards." Johnson said at a news conference during his visit to Rwanda that the U.S. ruling "has had a huge impact on the thinking of people around the world."
Bloomberg said that given the great importance that Britain attaches to a "special relationship" with the United States, it is unusual for any British leader to criticize the United States, especially in meddling in the domestic affairs of the United States.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted on the same day that the matter responded: "The news from the United States is terrible. My heart is with millions of American women who are about to lose their legal right to abortion. I can't imagine your fear and anger right now. ”↓
There is also Macron, who was recently re-elected president of France, who tweeted: "Abortion is a fundamental right of all women." It must be protected. I would like to express my solidarity with women who have been deprived of their liberty by the U.S. Supreme Court. ”↓
On the 24th local time, the US Supreme Court overturned the "Rowe v. Wade" ruling. The ruling legalized abortion in the United States in 1973. The court's opinion stated: "The Constitution does not confer the right to abortion; The Roe v. Wade decision was dismissed; the power to regulate abortion was given to the people and their elected representatives. Biden issued a public statement on the same day, condemning the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Roe v. Wade case, saying that the Supreme Court made a "tragic mistake" and deprived the United States of its basic constitutional rights that have been recognized and enforced for 50 years. Biden also said the Supreme Court's ruling today is not final, and he called on Congress to act to protect women's right to abortion.

Bloomberg said the leaders of the four countries will attend the Group of Seven (G7) summit at the foot of the Bavarian Alps in Germany this weekend, focusing on how to deal with the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
"But this blockbuster political bomb, which has just landed in the United States, immediately resonated with some people outside the United States." Bloomberg said the above reaction of the leaders of Britain, Canada and France after the US Supreme Court overturned the "Rowe v. Wade" ruling. As of now, G7 hosts, German Chancellor Schoelz, have been silent about it, "but there is no doubt that this will be the question he and other leaders will be asked at the summit," the report said.
