Evian-les-Bains

Leadersat the Group of Seven summit wrap up three days of talks in the French Alps on Wednesday with discussions on the contentious future of artificial intelligence and US dominance of the industry.

US President Donald Trump and other national leaders are closing the formal talks of the leading industrial nations in the lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains with a session on the future of artificial intelligence and another on fostering economic growth.

The heads of several leading AI companies will attend the discussions, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.

Trump plans to stop outside Paris for a glitzy dinner at the Palace of Versailles before he jets back to Washington on Wednesday. The G7 leaders spent the bulk of their meeting on Tuesday discussing the war between Russia and Ukraine and a tentative deal to end the Iran war. Trump did not reveal details of the agreement expected to be signed by the United States and Iran on Friday at a resort on Switzerland's Lake Lucerne. The G7 includes France, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, the US and the United Kingdom. Guest nations at this summit include Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, South Korea, Qatar, Ukraine and the United Arab Emirates.

Here is the latest:

Leaders of France, the UK, Italy, Germany and Canada have gathered for informal talks ahead of a G7 session on global economic imbalances, French President Emmanuel Macron's office said. They then joined the meeting involving partners including India, South Korea, Kenya and India.

Starmer says he discussed Russia oil sanctions with Trump

Keir Starmer says he isn't sure whether Trump has made a decision about whether to reimpose sanctions on Russian oil. The British leader says he talked to Trump about the temporary US sanctions waiver. Starmer told British broadcaster ITV he and Trump had “a very constructive discussion about Ukraine,” but “I don't know that a decision has been made yet.” He said G7 leaders shared “a real determination to stand with Ukraine,” including through more sanctions on Russia.

No bilateral meeting for Carney and Trump

Carney did not get a bilateral meeting with Trump at the summit, despite the free trade agreement between the countries being up for renewal on July 1.

Carney says he had seven or eight discussions with Trump, and he expects to have more on Wednesday. He says they discussed a wide range of subjects, from the economy, relations, his birthday, artificial intelligence, Ukraine and Iran. Canadian prime ministers usually get a bilateral meeting with an American president at G7 summits. And it is a crucial time for talks to potentially renew the free-trade agreement between the two countries and Mexico. Trump said last week that he may not renew the deal.

Macron is the only G7 leader to get a bilateral meeting thus far. Trump met with the leaders of non-G7 countries of Qatar, UAE, Egypt and India.

Trump to close final day in France at Palace of Versailles

The expansive palace is where he'll have dinner with Macron before the flight back to Washington. At the final day of the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, Trump is set to participate in working sessions with his counterparts from France, Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy and Japan, alongside leaders from some developing nations and tech CEOs. In between sessions, he'll hold one-on-one talks with Egypt's president and India's prime minister.

Trump is also holding a news conference before the trip to Versailles.

Leaders pledge Ukraine support, including air defence technology

G7 leaders said in a joint statement overnight that they would increase military support for Ukraine after recent “progress on the battlefield.”

They also plan to levy harsher sanctions on Russia's energy sector in the wake of the recent deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

They plan to give more air defence technology, including interceptors and grant military production licenses to Ukraine. Kyiv has sought the permits to construct its own Patriot missiles.

Iran deal could be a global game changer, says Carney

Carney says a tentative deal to end the Iran war could be a game-changer in the world. The Canadian prime minister, speaking on the final day of the summit, said the agreement could have positive effects, including the ability to provide additional defensive support in Ukraine.
