U.S. President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron will meet for an evening dinner at the Palace of Versailles near Paris after next week’s G7 summit, according to announcements from their governments and coverage by multiple outlets. The G7 meeting is scheduled to take place in Evian-les-Bains, France, and the dinner is set to follow the summit as the two leaders continue discussions in the days around the gathering.
France 24 reports that the dinner on Wednesday also marks the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, citing Macron’s office. Other outlets describe the dinner as occurring at Versailles and do not add further ceremonial context. PBS NewsHour and Japan Today similarly frame the event as a direct leader-to-leader meeting over dinner following the summit.
Several reports place the dinner on the leaders’ agenda alongside other one-on-one talks in connection with the G7. The Washington Times notes the date and location as part of the announcement, and the Inquirer.net report links Trump’s broader schedule to ongoing diplomacy, including efforts related to an Iran agreement.
