Trump to attend G7 session with Ukraine's Zelenskyy, meet Middle East leaders

President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the G7 summit in France, participating in a working session with President Zelenskyy to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine. During the summit, Trump will also engage with Middle Eastern leaders to address critical issues such as demining the Strait of Hormuz and pursuing an end to the Iran war. In a separate development, President Trump announced his intention to nominate James McDonald as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. McDonald, currently a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell, has prior experience as the CFTC's Director of Enforcement.

Trump has also made statements regarding a proposed agreement with Iran, asserting that it would prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons, a stance he contrasts with the 2015 JCPOA. He emphasized that this new deal would not involve any exchange of money and that Iran has agreed not to develop or purchase nuclear weapons. Furthermore, Trump stated that Iran's assets will remain frozen and sanctions will continue until a final peace deal is reached, expressing a willingness to speak with Iran's leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, post-agreement. Trump's approach has reportedly rattled Gulf allies, who are concerned about the unpredictability of Washington's policy due to his threats against mediators.

In other international engagements, President Trump will attend a working dinner at the Palace of Versailles with French President Emmanuel Macron following the G7 summit. This meeting is intended to celebrate Franco-American friendship and discuss key global issues. French President Macron is also set to host the One Planet Summit in Paris, gathering approximately fifty global leaders to determine future climate actions, particularly in light of the United States' withdrawal from the Paris Climate Change Agreement.

Domestically, President Trump and his allies are exploring the possibility of passing a resolution to nullify his previous impeachments, aiming to gain legislative support for such a measure. Separately, USTR Greer is scheduled to travel to India for trade talks, with discussions underway for a potential agreement, though specifics remain undisclosed.
