Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni sought to eliminate a statement in the communique backing abortion rights.
President Biden, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and other world leaders at the G-7 summit in Italy on Thursday. SAVELLETRI, Italy — President Biden, whose reelection campaign is centered on mobilizing voters on abortion rights, has been waging a behind-the-scenes battle here to ensure that abortion access and reproductive rights are part of a global agreement among the world’s leading democracies.
But Biden, along with the leaders of France, Germany and Canada, pushed for its inclusion, and Biden threatened to not sign the document if it was not included, the officials said. The debate over the communiqué became a major sticking point, with negotiations lasting until 2 a.m. for several nights over the past week, and the reproductive rights language did not get resolved until the very end, according to one of the officials involved.
“The president felt very strongly that we needed to have at the very least the language that references what we did in Hiroshima on women’s health and reproductive rights,” said a senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing talks. “The communiqué will have, will reiterate, the commitment made in Hiroshima.
Italian officials stressed that the negotiations around the text were ongoing and subject to change, with Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani telling Italy’s SkyTg24 that characterizations of the final content of the final G-7 resolution were “premature.”
