Macron’s last big diplomatic test: Keep Trump engaged in the G7
French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains with the primary goal of keeping U.S. President Donald Trump engaged in discussions about the Ukraine war and energy crisis. The summit is expected to produce narrower declarations instead of a traditional joint communiqué, reflecting low expectations for major agreements. Macron has adjusted the summit's schedule to accommodate Trump's personal preferences, including a birthday event featuring a cage fight.
