Donald Trump jokes “I’m the boss” as he arrives for a G7 leaders’ meeting in France. Multiple outlets report that the remark is made as he walks into the session, drawing laughter from other leaders. Coverage describes the comment as light-hearted and presented as a spontaneous quip rather than a policy statement. One outlet also adds that Trump later explains the line in an interview context, saying he intended it as humor, not to assert anything formal.

The meeting takes place during the G7 summit, with leaders and partner-nation representatives scheduled to discuss issues including trade, economic challenges and global financial stability. Sources agree that the moment stands out for its humorous tone amid the summit’s formal agenda. The remark circulates widely online as a viral comment seen by attendees and then reported by multiple media organizations covering the summit.
