U.S. President Donald Trump is set to participate in a working session at the upcoming G7 summit in France, where he is expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to U.S. official sources.

Trump intends to steer the G7 discussions toward key areas including investment alliances, the resilience of strategic supply chains, and immigration policies. The summit in France will also provide a platform for the U.S. to discuss a trade agreement with India, with Trump scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This meeting is seen as an opportunity to improve diplomatic relations between the two leaders and address global security, trade, and geopolitical tensions.

Additionally, Trump will engage in separate bilateral meetings with the leaders of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt. Notably, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not expected to attend these specific meetings. The summit may also touch upon NATO matters, potentially acknowledging burden-sharing efforts and encouraging further steps in that direction.

Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to host Trump for a dinner at the Palace of Versailles on June 17, 2026. This event commemorates the 250th anniversary of the United States' independence and recalls the historical significance of Versailles, where the treaty recognizing U.S. independence was signed in 1783.
