Washington: US President Donald Trump will attend the G7 leaders' summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, from June 15 to 17, a White House official told media on Tuesday; the announcement follows earlier scheduling changes and confirms the US will participate in meetings on artificial intelligence, trade and security. This week officials said the summit is expected to focus on building consensus rather than producing signed agreements; delegates will discuss AI governance, critical mineral supply chains, immigration and global security amid noted tensions with European allies over Iran, and the US is scheduled to hold a public birthday event on June 14.

Who Benefited

US technology firms and exporters may benefit from commitments to promote American AI, expanded trade links, and policies aimed at reshaping critical mineral supply chains, while investors in those supply chains could see new commercial opportunities.

Who Impacted

Countries and companies reliant on existing Chinese-dominated critical mineral supply chains, and actors opposed to US trade-linked foreign aid policies, may face increased market and diplomatic pressure from US-driven initiatives.
