G7 Summit Opens in France

World leaders have convened in Evian, France, for the 52nd G7 Summit, with the recent conclusion of the 107-day US-Iran war taking center stage. US President Donald Trump is expected to highlight the resulting peace agreement and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, easing recent tensions with European allies over the unilateral conflict. Beyond the Middle East, the high-stakes working sessions will focus on continued support for Ukraine, the global economy, and the future of artificial intelligence. Host French President Emmanuel Macron also urged the bloc to tackle global economic imbalances, stressing that the G7 must return to its founding purpose of resolving international crises. Meanwhile, intense security measures remain in effect across the Lake Geneva region as the diplomatic negotiations continue through Wednesday.
