G7 summit in the spotlight due to tensions over Trump

Donald Trump’s arrival this week at the quiet lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains in France for the world leaders’ summit was not enough to hide the stormy atmosphere in the background.
elchi reports that Donald Trump, who has repeatedly insulted most of his G7 partners in recent months, has revived his old ambitions and started new disputes with leaders he once appeared to respect.
At the center of Trump’s latest anger is the leaders’ refusal to join a US-Israel war against Iran. After Trump announced over the weekend that a deal had been reached with Tehran, this issue became the focus of the summit.
But in reality, the US president’s relationship with the G7 has become a long-term test that has continued since the tense summits of his first term. Other leaders representing America’s most loyal allies have often tried to ignore these blows from Donald Trump, but some have now begun to respond.
The most complex relationship is with Macron
Donald Trump knows French President Emmanuel Macron, who is hosting the longest summit among this year’s G7 leaders. Therefore, their relationship stands out as the most complex; one day there is a display of mutual respect, and the next day there are comments about Macron’s marriage.
Macron, who has prided himself for years on his ability to build a relationship with Donald Trump, has recently been showing a more weary attitude toward his American counterpart.
