U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron for dinner at the Palace of Versailles after the conclusion of the G7 summit. This invitation marks a significant occasion, celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence, with Versailles serving as a historical symbol of Franco-American relations.
Trump will arrive in France on June 15, immediately following his 80th birthday celebrations in Washington, D.C. According to Politico, European leaders plan to discuss various pressing issues with Trump during the summit, including the ongoing war in Ukraine and tensions surrounding Iran.

A working session involving G7 leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled for June 16. However, a Trump administration official has indicated that no separate meeting between the U.S. and Ukrainian presidents is currently planned.
