President Donald Trump is heading to France for the annual G7 summit after the United States and Iran announced an agreement to end the Middle East conflict.
The three-day meeting begins Monday in Evian-les-Bains, near the Swiss border, with leaders expected to discuss Ukraine, artificial intelligence, trade, and international security.
French President Emmanuel Macron is urging the G7 to prioritize stronger international cooperation, though several European leaders worry that US stances on climate policy, NATO, and Greenland may hinder agreement.
Differences are expected as Trump also continues to promote his “America First” agenda and opposes stricter regulation of the fast-growing AI industry.
The newly announced Iran agreement may also dominate the summit. G7 leaders are expected to seek more details of the agreement and discuss its impact on the Middle East.
In the past, Trump has left the summit early. To prevent that, Macron is said to have arranged a private dinner with him at Versailles after the meeting concludes.
Invited nations, including India, Brazil, Kenya, and South Korea, will also take part in key discussions.
