U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to discuss plans to remove mines from the Strait of Hormuz with fellow Group of Seven (G7) allies during next week’s G7 summit in France, according to a senior U.S. administration official speaking to reporters. The discussions come as mediators say an agreement to end the Iran war is nearing completion. The reporting states that Britain and France, both G7 members, have shown interest in supporting demining efforts once the conflict is paused. The focus of the planned talks is on how mine-clearing could proceed after hostilities ease, given the Strait of Hormuz’s importance for international shipping. All accounts describe the G7 summit as the forum where the U.S. will raise the issue with allies, but they do not provide further details on whether a specific demining timetable, funding arrangement, or operational lead has been agreed. The reports also do not specify the scope of mines involved or the extent of commitments expected from each country.
