Le président américain Donald Trump President Trump will indeed attend the upcoming G7 summit in France in June, a White House official confirmed Tuesday. This announcement puts an end to speculation about the US president's presence at this major meeting of leading Western economic powers.
According to reports by Axios, Donald Trump intends to use the summit to promote several strategic priorities of his administration. Among the topics he wants to highlight are the link between American aid and trade agreements, the development of American artificial intelligence technologies, and reducing Western dependence on China for critical minerals.
Supply chains are expected to be a central issue in the discussions. Washington has been seeking for several years to limit Chinese influence in certain strategic sectors, particularly rare earth elements and resources essential to new technologies, electric batteries, and the defense industry.
The Trump administration also wants to promote the international adoption of artificial intelligence tools developed in the United States. This strategy is part of the growing technological competition between Washington and Beijing, as major powers try to gain an advantage in emerging technologies.
The G7 summit will bring together the leaders of the world's major industrialized democracies against an international backdrop of trade tensions, geopolitical rivalries, and concerns about global growth. The presence of Donald Trump could lead to particularly closely watched discussions on economic and strategic issues.
No further details have yet been released on the exact program of the American president in France or on the bilateral meetings planned on the sidelines of the summit.
