Keir Starmer says he has not been snubbed by U.S. President Donald Trump at the G7 summit in France, despite there being no separate bilateral meeting scheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday. Reporting from the summit in Évian-les-Bains indicates that Starmer and Trump do not meet one-on-one as part of the planned bilateral timetable, but Starmer states they still have contact through group discussions with other leaders. The Prime Minister argues that his conversations with Trump have been “very productive” and “very good,” and he frames the lack of a dedicated meeting as not reflecting diminished engagement. Starmer also reiterates Britain’s position on participating in efforts related to the strait of Hormuz, linking possible involvement to a wider peace context between Iran and the United States. Overall coverage across outlets describes the same event sequence: no planned bilateral meeting at the summit, Starmer’s denial of any snub, and reference to productive discussions occurring in multilateral settings.
