Trump arrived in Evian-les-Bains, France, for talks with G7 leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, after he said the Iran deal was “all signed.”

At the same time, the agenda was shaped by questions about reopening the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump saying the demining process was underway and that “on Friday it will be completely opened.”

The summit also drew in guest leaders including Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and the News-Times report said the G7 includes France, the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom.

In parallel, the News-Times report quoted U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric saying UNIFIL observed a decrease in violence and exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah from midnight until 4 p.m. local time Monday.

Trump told allies the US would not need “much help” in reopening the Strait of Hormuz, saying “I don’t think we are going to need much help” after London and Paris proposed a joint naval mission.

Macron, hosting Trump in Evian-les-Bains, said on TF1 television, “We defend international law and we will do everything in our power to ensure there is no toll,” while the Aaj English TV report said the details of the US-Iran agreement had not been disclosed publicly.

The dispute over trade also surfaced in the reporting, with the MercoPress account saying Trump warned that the United States will impose 100% tariffs on French wine and champagne if Paris does not withdraw its 3% tax on digital services.

MercoPress also reported that Macron skipped the planned protocol and did not personally receive Trump on his arrival, after the Élysée said Macron was holding a meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

In the same broader G7 context, the News-Times report said Trump had threatened reprisals including drawing down U.S. troops in all four countries, all members of the NATO military alliance, for their lack of support.

Beyond Iran and Ukraine, the Latest news from Azerbaijan reported that WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva urged the G7 to summon the “courage” to finish the international treaty on handling future pandemics.

The report said the pair wrote in a joint open letter that the G7 leaders must show “political will at the highest level” to finalise a key missing part, the Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) mechanism, which cannot enter into force until the annex is finalised.

It also cited the WHO and others estimating “up to 20 million” lives lost in the Covid-19 pandemic, and said WHO member states’ negotiators are due to meet again for more talks from July 6 to 17.

The same report said “Treat July 17 as a deadline, not a milestone,” and described the stakes as the world being “less ready than it could be” while “people are less safe than they deserve to be.”

Meanwhile, the News-Times report said UNIFIL recorded 133 trajectories of projectiles and two airstrikes attributed to Israeli forces during midnight until 4 p.m. local time Monday, and none from Hezbollah or other armed groups, underscoring how security questions remained active alongside the summit agenda.
