A statement from G-7 finance ministers was released Tuesday and posted on the U.S. Treasury Department website. Finance ministers had been concerned about the effect high oil prices would have on already weak global economies and are prepared to take action. Benchmark U.S. oil and Brent Crude have risen 22 percent and 23 percent, respectively, since late June.
