5 min readG7 Opens with Trump-Macron Exchange on Iran and Ukraine; Texas Flooding Worsens
President Trump met French President Macron at the G7 summit in what was the first day of the gathering, and the two leaders spoke publicly about the wars in Iran and Ukraine. Macron said European nations are ready to help ensure the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and could deploy frigates within days. Trump responded, "I don't think we're going to need much help, but I don't think it's a bad idea to have a ship or two up here from a few countries. It'd be a great country to do it."
When a reporter asked when an agreement with Iran would be made public, Trump drew a contrast with the 2015 nuclear accord reached between Iran, the US, the EU, and the International Atomic Energy Agency under President Obama. "It's not like the Obama document, which was just a terrible document," Trump said. "This is a very powerful document and I want it to be released probably pretty soon." He then said that now that the Iran conflict is "solved," he may turn back to the war in Ukraine.
