Donald Trump signs US‑Iran peace deal at Versailles during G7 summit
President Donald Trump signed a memorandum of understanding ending the war between the United States and Iran at the Palace of Versailles while the G7 leaders gathered in France. The agreement, announced as official peace, is expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lower global energy prices. French President Emmanuel Macron hosted a celebratory dinner at Versailles, which Trump praised as “fantastic,” and the text of the accord was delivered to Trump just before the meal, allowing him to sign it at the table. A copy of the agreement was also sent to Israel.
The ceremony marked a diplomatic breakthrough, with Trump describing the deal as a “step in the right direction” for American citizens and noting that markets had responded positively to the news.
