G7 summit in France centers on Ukraine aid, AI and global economic challenges

The Group of Seven (G7) summit will be held from 15‑17 June in Evian‑les‑Bains, France. United States President Donald Trump is expected to attend and hold meetings with European, Middle‑East and Asian leaders. A session on 16 June will include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as Kyiv seeks further military assistance, particularly modern air‑defence systems.

The agenda focuses on pressing geopolitical and economic issues. French President Emmanuel Macron plans to drive discussion on global economic imbalances, supply‑chain resilience, illegal migration, artificial‑intelligence policy and the supply of critical minerals for advanced technologies. High‑profile technology CEOs will participate, underscoring the growing role of AI and supply‑chain matters in the summit. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called for stronger trans‑Atlantic cohesion ahead of the meeting.

Security preparations are underway, with French authorities deploying thousands of personnel to safeguard the event.
