The three-day summit in Évian-les-Bains comes as concerns grow about surging energy costs and fractures among leading democracies. A senior U.S. administration official told NPR that Trump will meet with Middle Eastern leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to address key issues including economic growth, supply chain resilience, illegal immigration, and artificial intelligence.
The war in Iran has exposed divisions between the U.S. and its allies. As reported by CNBC, Trump announced the withdrawal of 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany during a dispute with European leaders over their reluctance to support the conflict. The decision was partially reversed, redirecting troops to Poland.
The summit agenda also includes discussions on Russia's war against Ukraine and AI regulation. According to CNBC, French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed a desire for the group to prioritize reducing inequality and fostering multilateralism, which may conflict with Trump's America First agenda. The leaders are expected to address issues related to artificial intelligence, online protections, and organized crime.
The U.S. and Iran have yet to finalize an anticipated deal to end the Middle East war that has stirred political and economic strife around the world. A senior Trump administration official told reporters Friday that such a deal could be signed in just a few days but added it is not certain, according to CNBC. Trump on Saturday said that a deal would be signed on Sunday followed by the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, though Iranian state media disputed the timing.
