French President Emmanuel Macron is preparing a carefully designed agenda for the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains. The goal is to keep global leaders focused while also managing uncertainty around US President Donald Trump’s attendance. The summit brings together leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Macron is hosting the summit for the first time in Évian and is expected to use diplomatic strategy to keep discussions on track. However, officials admit there is no clear assurance that Trump will stay for the full three days. His past behavior at international summits has often included early departures and sudden political shifts. At the previous G7 meeting in Canada, Trump left early during discussions on global conflicts. He also publicly criticized Macron at the time, calling him “publicity seeking” and questioning his leadership style. Despite this, Macron has continued to take a diplomatic approach, avoiding public confrontation. This year, Macron has adjusted the summit schedule in an unusual move. He allowed the opening to shift so Trump could attend a personal event in Washington. French officials also plan a special dinner at Versailles, hoping it will encourage Trump to remain through the full summit. The historic venue is seen as a symbolic gesture aimed at strengthening diplomatic ties. Behind the scenes, there is concern that the summit could be disrupted by ongoing global tensions, especially the situation involving Iran. Trump has recently focused heavily on the US-Iran peace process and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil route. This issue could pull his attention away from G7 discussions at any moment. European officials are preparing for multiple scenarios, including sudden changes in US priorities. Some leaders are also expected to challenge the handling of recent military and economic disruptions linked to the Iran conflict. The G7 includes some of the world’s largest economies, and coordination has become more difficult amid rising geopolitical tension. Macron is expected to issue formal summaries after each working session instead of a single joint statement. Topics include global conflicts, economic stability, and supply chain security. However, officials confirmed that there will be no unified communique on the most sensitive wars, reflecting deep divisions among members. One of the main concerns at the summit is the impact of global instability on the economy. Inflation, energy prices, and trade disruption are all expected to dominate discussions. International financial institutions have already warned that global growth forecasts are weakening due to ongoing conflicts and rising costs. Economic pressure is being felt across major regions. Central banks in Europe and Asia are raising interest rates to control inflation. Shipping costs have also increased due to earlier disruptions in key trade routes. These factors are expected to shape much of the G7 debate in Évian. Ukraine’s war with Russia will also feature prominently. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to attend and meet leaders directly. He is likely to push for continued military and financial support, while European leaders debate long-term strategies for stability in the region. The conflict in Gaza is another major topic. France is urging stronger international coordination to address humanitarian concerns and long-term political solutions. Trump is expected to hold separate meetings with officials from Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt during the summit to discuss regional stability. Despite these discussions, unity within the G7 remains uncertain. Differences in approach to military action, trade policy, and global governance continue to divide member states. Some leaders are pushing for stronger European involvement in global security decisions, while others prefer US-led coordination. Macron is also using the summit to highlight economic competition with China. European leaders are concerned about rising Chinese exports and industrial subsidies affecting global markets. However, Macron is trying to frame the issue as a need for cooperation rather than confrontation, aiming to avoid further trade tensions. Technology and artificial intelligence will also be discussed. Leading tech figures are expected to attend side events, including OpenAI chief Sam Altman and French AI entrepreneur Arthur Mensch. Macron is likely to promote tighter regulation of digital platforms, including proposals related to youth safety online. Climate change, once a central topic of G7 meetings, has been largely removed from the main agenda this year. Officials say the issue could create disagreements among leaders, especially with current political and economic pressures. As the summit begins, all attention remains on whether Trump will stay for the full event or leave early, as he has done before. His participation is expected to shape the tone of discussions and influence outcomes on several global issues.
