Trump to Warn of Renewed Iran Bombing at G7 While Backing Deal
U. S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver a warning that the United States will resume bombing Iran if Tehran misbehaves, during the Group of Seven summit in Evian-les-Bains, France. Analysts cited by AP News expect that the strained relationship between Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron will become evident at the meeting.
The two leaders are also slated to dine together at the Palace of Versailles, where bilateral talks on Iran and other issues are anticipated. NPR reports that discussions at the summit are likely to be dominated by the escalating war with Iran and related security challenges. AP News indicates that Trump plans to announce a provisional agreement intended to end the United States’ conflict with Iran and to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The Guardian adds that he will warn of renewed air strikes against Iran while backing the deal and rejecting claims that the United States will fund a reconstruction plan.
