15th G7 summit

Giorgia Meloni's far-right party won a decisive victory in European elections in Italy, unofficial results showed Monday — making her one of the few EU leaders to emerge stronger after the vote.

"Thank you!" the Italian prime minister posted on social media alongside a photo of her making a V-for victory.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Thursday urged G7 ministers meeting in Italy to work on "more ambitious options" to use frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine.

The ministers and central bankers from the Group of Seven world powers are meeting in Stresa, on the shores of northern Italy's Lake Maggiore, to prepare for a summit of G7 heads of state next month in Puglia.
