G7 summit in France slipped as Trump schedule and Iran talks loomed

Why it matters: Uncertainty over a possible US-Iran deal in Geneva threatened to overshadow the group's usual trade and economic agenda.

The Group of Seven summit in Evian, France, started later than originally planned after President Donald Trump's schedule forced a change, Bloomberg reported, while uncertainty around US-Iran peace talks added another complication. The gathering is usually centered on economic and trade coordination among major democracies. This year, attention shifted to whether Washington and Tehran could reach a deal that might culminate in a signing ceremony in Geneva. Bloomberg reported that speculation around such an agreement, alongside a sizable US military presence, raised expectations but left the summit's agenda harder to predict and added strain to already tense US-European relations.
