Trump to Meet Middle East Leaders, Attend Ukraine Session at G7 Summit

U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to engage in significant diplomatic discussions during the upcoming G7 summit in France next week. Senior U.S. administration officials announced that Trump will meet with leaders from the Middle East and participate in a working session focused on Ukraine alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other G7 leaders.

The summit, taking place from June 15 to 17 in the French town of Evian-les-Bains, will convene leaders from the world's major economies. Key agenda items for Trump include fostering economic growth and development, enhancing supply chain resilience, addressing illegal migration, and exploring advancements in artificial intelligence. He also plans to focus on strengthening the supply chain for critical minerals essential for advanced technologies.

We want the war to end as quickly as possible.

Trump's itinerary includes separate meetings with the leaders of Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, France, and India. He is also slated to attend a working session with President Zelenskyy, occurring at a time when Russian advances in Ukraine have reportedly slowed, and Kyiv is seeking increased military aid from its allies. Officials noted that Russian gains have "more or less stopped" and expressed a desire for a swift end to the conflict.

While no formal bilateral meeting with Zelenskyy is planned, the possibility of a sideline encounter exists. Trump's schedule also includes a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the historic Palace of Versailles on Wednesday before his return to Washington. The president is traveling to France early Monday after attending a mixed martial arts event at the White House on Sunday.
