Egypt's presidency: Bilateral Trump-Sisi meeting to be held in France

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is set to hold bilateral talks with U.S. President Donald Trump during an upcoming summit in Evian, France. The Egyptian presidency announced that the meeting will address ways to resolve international geopolitical crises and mitigate their consequences on global trade, energy, and supply chains.

This high-level meeting occurs against a backdrop of heightened tensions in the Middle East, following the escalation of conflict between the U.S. and Iran in late February. The G7 summit, hosted by France, will bring together leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Several other leaders, including those from Brazil and India, have been invited to attend.

French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to arrive on Sunday evening, with other leaders, including President Trump, scheduled to arrive on Monday. The summit represents a significant gathering of world leaders to discuss pressing global issues, with a particular focus on navigating the complex geopolitical landscape and its economic ramifications.
