Wednesday’s Versailles dinner will bring Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron together after the G7 summit, with France casting the event as a marker of the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.
Trump is expected to use the France trip for a packed round of bilateral meetings focused on winding down the Iran war, including talks with Egypt, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
U.S. officials said Trump will also discuss plans to clear mines from the Strait of Hormuz, with Britain and France interested in helping if the conflict is paused.
The summit opens Monday in Evian-les-Bains, where G7 leaders will also tackle economic growth, critical-minerals supply chains, illegal immigration and artificial intelligence, while the wars in Iran and Ukraine loom over the agenda.
India’s Narendra Modi and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy are also expected in France, though officials said a Trump-Zelenskyy meeting is not currently scheduled and a U.S.-India trade deal is unlikely to be finalized there.
