Trump meets Ukraine's Zelenskyy as Iran moves into ‘rear-view mirror’

Key Points:

• Donald Trump pledged continued support for Kyiv and urged Russia to "make a deal" to end the Ukraine war during the G7 summit in Evian, France, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other world leaders.
• The U.S. is preparing to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran aimed at ending the nearly four-month conflict there, shifting Trump's focus toward Europe and the Ukraine crisis.
• European leaders at the G7 are pressing for sustained American support for Ukraine, highlighting that Europe currently provides nearly all aid and calling for the U.S. to maintain or increase its commitment.
• Despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, including past U.S.-led talks between Russia and Ukraine, no major breakthroughs are expected at the summit, with Ukrainian officials expressing cautious optimism but skepticism about immediate peace progress.
• Tensions persist between Trump and some European leaders over various issues, including Middle East military operations and trade disputes, though efforts to improve transatlantic relations were visible during the summit.
