U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Middle Eastern partners during the Group of Seven (G7) leaders’ summit in France next week. According to multiple outlets, the G7 meeting takes place in Evian-les-Bains, with Trump arriving in France late Sunday and participating in the summit that runs from late Monday through Wednesday. Reporting also says the meetings underscore the prominence of Middle East issues at the summit, with Iran identified as a major topic amid European efforts to manage economic and diplomatic impacts linked to the Iran-related conflict.
One senior U.S. administration official, as cited by Egypt Independent and other coverage, says Trump will discuss “key issues of mutual interest” with other leaders at the G7, including economic growth, supply chain resilience, immigration, and artificial intelligence. Japan Times additionally reports Trump will hold bilateral meetings with the leaders of France, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and India.
Other coverage notes that broader pressures on trade and diplomacy are part of the backdrop, including tariff concerns and economic fallout confronting European allies as the summit convenes.
