President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet French President Emmanuel Macron for an exclusive dinner at the historic Palace of Versailles on Wednesday, following the G7 summit in France, officials said. The dinner, commemorating the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, is described by Macron’s office as a 'historic symbol of Franco-American friendship' and a testament to the enduring strength of Western civilization.
Trump, who arrived in France on Monday, will also conduct a series of high-level one-on-one meetings with leaders of Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and India, demonstrating American leadership and commitment to strategic alliances. Senior administration officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the president will discuss significant progress on a potential Iran war-time agreement and decisive plans to remove mines from the Strait of Hormuz, with Britain and France showing readiness to support these vital security efforts.
The G7 leaders, including Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, and France, are set to address economic growth, supply-chain resilience, the fight against illegal immigration, the responsible development of artificial intelligence, and the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Iran. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will attend, though no formal meeting with Trump is currently planned, as the U.S. continues to lead by example.
In addition to the Versailles dinner, Trump is expected to meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to advance a possible trade agreement, following a joint framework signed earlier this year, further strengthening America’s global economic leadership.
