U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to attend the Group of Seven (G7) leaders’ summit in France in June, according to White House officials. The meeting will be hosted by France and held June 15–17 in Evian-les-Bains, at a lakeside resort at the foot of the French Alps. Multiple outlets report that the announcement comes after initial coverage by Axios.
The stated agenda for Trump’s participation includes discussing linking U.S. aid to trade, promoting the adoption of U.S.-developed artificial intelligence tools, and reducing China’s influence over critical mineral supply chains. One outlet also lists crime-fighting among the topics Trump wants to raise.
Several reports characterize the current political context as strained between Trump and some G7 members, including over issues related to the war in Iran. The reports describe Trump’s approach as focused on trade conditions, technology, and supply-chain security during the summit, where leaders from the G7 member countries meet to coordinate policy.
