G7 allies to assess impact of Trump's midterm setback at Paris talks

By John IrishPARIS, Nov 9 (Reuters) - A G7 foreign ministers gathering in Paris on Monday will provide the first opportunity for Washington's allies to gauge whether a US midterm defeat for President Donald Trump alters the administration's approach to Ukraine, the Middle East and ties with its closest partners, four G7 diplomats said.The diplomats signalled the Democrats' gains could narrow the White House's room for manoeuvre but warned against expecting a return to traditional US multilateralism while foreign policy remains very much under Trump's control.
