President Donald Trump arrives late to a meeting of G7 leaders at the summit in France on Wednesday, according to multiple outlets. One report says Trump tells the assembled world leaders, “I’m the boss,” during the meeting. Another account says French President Emmanuel Macron attempts to begin the session, but Trump interrupts. The same report adds that Trump invites media members to stay as the meeting proceeds.
Both sources describe Trump’s late arrival and his assertive comments to other leaders. They also indicate that the interaction affects the tone and flow of the discussion at the start of the meeting, with Macron attempting to start while Trump directs attention to the media and makes his message to the group. The reports do not describe a detailed policy outcome from the exchange, focusing instead on the circumstances of Trump’s arrival and remarks. The meeting takes place during the G7 summit in France.
