Summary
A hot mic at the G7 summit caught Donald Trump telling European Council President António Costa, after a pause, simply: “Greenland.”
The clipped exchange drew attention because European leaders have been angered by Trump’s threats to acquire Greenland, the semiautonomous Danish territory.
Open microphones also captured lighter summit chatter, including Giorgia Meloni saying she has not smoked since May 1 and leaders discussing soccer during the World Cup.
Gift diplomacy added to the informal moments: Friedrich Merz gave Trump a German jersey with his name and number 47, while Emmanuel Macron presented leaders with bicycles tied to next year’s Cycling World Championships.
