An interim peace agreement between the U.S. and Iran was signed this week, ending active conflict and starting a sixty-day negotiation window on remaining issues. The document was signed by President Trump over dinner at the Palace of Versailles. Within hours, some Republican lawmakers expressed concern that a military outcome had shifted into a strategic setback.

Canada’s Mark Carney said the annual gathering helps shape a new world order through wider participation, though the G7 no longer claims to direct global affairs.
Ukraine statement President Zelensky obtained renewed Western backing at the summit. European leaders noted a shift in tone from President Trump compared with last year. Trump joined a joint statement pledging “unwavering support” for Ukraine and endorsed calls for added pressure on Russia, while urging Moscow to reach a deal.
