G7 summit in Evian

World leaders gathered in Evian-les-Bains, France, on Monday for the annual G7 summit, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron. The summit comes amid deep divisions between the United States and its European allies over two major conflicts: the US war against Iran, which President Donald Trump launched without consulting allies, and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Trump arrived after announcing a breakthrough deal to end the Iran war, but European leaders remain skeptical, with Macron describing the military assault as outside international law. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is scheduled to address the leaders on Tuesday, showcasing recent Ukrainian military gains against Russian forces. Trump has previously pressed Zelenskyy for a ceasefire, but Ukraine's improved position gives it more leverage. The summit also includes guest nations such as Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, South Korea, Qatar, Syria, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates, broadening the scope of discussions. Both Africa News and NBC News report that the Iran war and Ukraine conflict dominate the agenda, with Trump facing criticism for unilateral actions and lack of consultation. Trump has threatened to draw down US troops in allied countries over their lack of support for the Iran war, while European leaders demand more US engagement in Ukraine. The summit's outcomes remain uncertain as Trump's mood and his recent social media claims about an Iran deal add unpredictability.
