World leaders convene at G7 summit as US announces interim Iran cease-fire deal

U.S. President Donald Trump landed in Evian-les-Bains on Monday for the Group of Seven summit after the United States and Iran electronically signed an interim cease-fire agreement on Sunday. Vice President JD Vance told reporters that the deal, which has not yet released any funds, is performance-based and that Iran will receive no money unless it meets its obligations. He said the text of the agreement would be published later in the week and that the Strait of Hormuz is expected to be reopened without tolls once technical talks are completed.

French President Emmanuel Macron said France could deploy fighter aircraft, frigates and its nuclear-powered carrier Charles de Gaulle within days to support the reopening of the strait. He also urged the United States to maintain its backing for Ukraine and increase pressure on Russia.
