Summary

  • Évian-les-Bains hosted a G-7 summit that closed without the public feuds, dramatic split or early Trump exit that had marred several past gatherings.
  • Group of Seven leaders treated avoiding a clash with the U.S. president as the main measure of success and publicly praised Trump for helping bring the Iran war to an end.
  • Trump pointed to that warm reception as evidence of improved relations at the Alpine meeting, where allies prioritized unity over confrontation.
  • The peaceful finish underscored how heavily this year’s summit was shaped by recent Middle East tensions and by leaders’ effort to preserve Western cohesion.
