Newsweek • • world
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump clarified that his "I'm the boss" comment at the G7 summit was intended as a joke, describing it as "being funny" and "being cute" during an Axios interview.
- Trump explained the comment arose from the seating arrangement at the summit, where he humorously asserted authority upon entering the room with other world leaders seated at a large table.
- Emphasizing his administration's strength, Trump described the summit as a "very dominant G7" and claimed his second term was more powerful than his first.
- The G7 summit was also marked by diplomatic tensions, including a dispute with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, whom Trump accused of "begging" for a photograph, a claim Meloni denied.
- Trump maintained his stance on the Meloni incident during a later interview, linking it to broader geopolitical disagreements involving NATO and the Strait of Hormuz.
