Trump urged by Europe to push Ukraine peace talks at G7 summit

European leaders at the G7 summit in Evian‑les‑Bains pressed U.S. President Donald Trump to back a new round of negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. They called for an immediate cease‑fire along the front line and a multinational security force, seeking to move beyond the terms discussed after Trump’s 2025 meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The appeal came as the summit, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, also highlighted Trump’s recent agreement with Iran to end that conflict.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, speaking at the same summit, announced a UK‑EU summit for 22 July in Brussels and a youth‑mobility scheme that would let citizens under 30 live, work and study across the two regions. The announcement underscores Britain’s aim to place itself at the "heart of Europe" while navigating ongoing Brexit‑related debates.
