Trump heads to G7 summit with wind at his back after announcing agreement aimed at ending Iran war
- President Donald Trump arrived in Evian-les-Bains, France, on Monday for the G7 summit after announcing an agreement to end the U.S. war with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, framing it as a breakthrough for global security.
- The agreement follows a 15-week conflict that surged global energy prices, prompting Trump to seek a diplomatic exit as European leaders criticized his failure to consult them before initiating military action.
- Officials reported the deal includes sanctions relief and a 60-day window for technical talks on Iran's nuclear program, while France and Britain offered to deploy mine-clearing vessels to restore tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
- French President Emmanuel Macron called the deal "a very important matter for peace of the whole world," while Trump said it frees him to focus on ending the Russia-Ukraine war after phone calls with both presidents.
- Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham demanded Congressional review, citing unresolved verification concerns including the fate of 972 pounds of highly enriched uranium, as Vice President JD Vance prepares to present the text following Friday's signing ceremony.
