G7 Evian summit: Macron and Trump shake hands as US pledges free Hormuz shipping

Leaders gathered at the G7 summit in Evian‑les‑Bains, France, where French President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. President Donald Trump posed for a photo‑op handshake. Trump told reporters that, following an agreement with Iran, the United States does not expect to need international assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and that the service will be provided free of tolls. He added that a few naval vessels from other countries could be welcomed in the region. The summit will also host talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who arrived in Geneva, focusing on the ongoing war in Ukraine that has now lasted over four years.
