Trump to Meet Sisi at G7 Summit in France Amid Middle East Tensions

U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Evian, France, this month. The Egyptian presidency announced the bilateral meeting, stating that Sisi would engage with various world leaders. Discussions are expected to focus on resolving international geopolitical crises and mitigating their effects on global trade, energy, and supply chains. This G7 summit, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron from June 15-17, is particularly significant as it convenes shortly after the United States and Israel launched a war against Iran in late February. This conflict has significantly disrupted the Middle East and strained transatlantic relations. Leaders from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates were invited to discuss the ongoing Middle East war. However, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will not attend due to prior commitments. The G7 nations include Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States, with additional leaders from countries like Brazil and India also invited.
