The United States leader’s arrival on Monday came as partners grow increasingly wary of his erratic geopolitical performance. While many have expressed relief over the deal that could bring closure to the Iran conflict, the mood has been tempered by unease over new tariff threats aimed at France, as well as Washington’s rhetoric questioning NATO and military support.
Meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron soon after his arrival, Trump boasted of the preliminary ceasefire deal with Iran announced on Sunday. He said the US was finally turning the page in its relationship with its long-time adversary. “I think a lot of great things are going to happen in the Middle East right now,” Trump said.
Having clinched the agreement to end the conflict, Trump made clear that he arrived at the summit with the wind at his back for talks with G7 leaders, including some who’ve been sharply critical of his management of the hostilities launched by the US and Israel in late February. The US president has clashed with Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni over failing to consult them before the decision to go to war.
With the Iran deal secured, Trump said he would now turn his attention to trying to secure peace between Ukraine and Russia while also seeking to end fighting in Lebanon. “We had a very good conversation yesterday with President Zelenskyy and President Putin,” he said. However, Ukrainian officials familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and France would be obliged as an ICC member to arrest him.
