It is currently unknown whether the U.S. president will attend the G7 summit or the dinner at Versailles. According to sources, Macron has not invited any other G7 leader to this event.
A White House official confirmed the invitation from the French president.
“(Macron) really wants him (Trump) to go, he’s begging him to go,” the official said.

French President Emmanuel Macron also mentioned the possibility of partnering with South Korea to stabilize the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. According to him, such cooperation will only be possible after the bombing in the region stops.

U.S. President Donald Trump reacted sharply to France’s decision to close its airspace to American aircraft carrying military cargo. The planes were headed to Israel, but France did not allow them to fly over its territory.
