Trump Confirms G7 Évian Attendance (June 15–17) — Iran Deal Diplomacy and AI Agenda Set

By June 7, 2026, the White House had confirmed that President Trump would attend the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, France (June 15–17), with Trump stating he plans to depart Washington after hosting a UFC fight at the White House on June 14. French President Macron, who is hosting the summit, secured Trump's attendance by offering a post-summit dinner at Versailles — a significant diplomatic gesture aimed at managing Trump's frustration with European allies over their refusal to join the US-Iran military campaign. The G7 agenda includes artificial intelligence governance, cross-border crime and drug trafficking, and trade policy. Iran deal diplomacy is expected to dominate the margins: UK Prime Minister Starmer, German Chancellor Merz, and Canadian PM Mark Carney are all expected to press Trump to accept a written framework deal with Iran that would end the oil supply disruption. French officials said Macron has been in direct contact with Iranian intermediaries and believes a G7 announcement on Iran could be possible if Trump moves on sanctions flexibility. Trump's attendance at Évian is his first G7 since returning to office and represents a significant shift from earlier 2025 reports that he might skip the summit entirely.
