  • U.S. President Donald Trump will attend the G7 summit in France and hold bilateral meetings with several leaders, but not with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
  • Trump is scheduled to meet with the leaders of France, Egypt, India, Qatar, and the UAE on the sidelines of the summit.
  • While Trump and Zelensky will be in the same working session, they do not have a separate bilateral meeting planned.

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to participate in the G7 summit in ร‰vian, France, where he will engage in bilateral meetings with leaders from France, Egypt, India, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Notably, a one-on-one meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is not on Trump's schedule, according to the White House.

Trump is scheduled to depart for France on Monday, following a UFC mixed martial arts event hosted at the White House. During the summit, he will address key issues such as economic growth, supply chain resilience, illegal migration, and artificial intelligence with G7 leaders. His agenda includes an initial bilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron upon arrival, followed by an official welcome and working dinner with the G7 heads of state.

While President Zelensky has been invited to a working session with G7 leaders on Tuesday, where Trump will also be present, no separate bilateral meeting between the two leaders is planned. Trump and Zelensky have not met since December of the previous year, when they convened at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. On the same Tuesday, Trump has separate meetings scheduled with the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and the President of the UAE, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, before attending a dinner with G7 and Middle Eastern leaders.

On Wednesday, Trump's schedule includes separate meetings with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Before departing France, Macron will host Trump for a dinner at the Palace of Versailles. The G7 summit, under French presidency, aims to forge agreements on major global issues, including digital regulation and conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. This gathering marks the first time the leaders of the United States, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Japan will convene since the war against Iran began in February, leading to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
