Ahead of the summit, Macron hosted a video conference on June 11 with representatives from China, India, Brazil, the Republic of Korea and Kenya to discuss macroeconomic imbalances and global economic governance.\n\nThe G7 brings together Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, alongside the European Union.\n\nU.S. President Donald Trump is expected to attend the summit, which media reports said was rescheduled by one day from its original dates to avoid a scheduling conflict with the U.S. leader's 80th birthday celebrations on June 14.\n\nThe European Union will be represented by European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.\n\nThe previous G7 summit was held in Alberta, Canada, in June 2025. The United States is scheduled to assume the G7 presidency in 2027.\n\nEarlier, [Qazinform](https://qazinform.com/) News Agency reported that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent [urged the G7](https://qazinform.com/news/bessent-urges-g7-to-join-us-effort-against-irans-finances-c8f5da) to join the US effort against Iran’s finances.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/g7-summit-in-france-everything-you-need-to-know", "canonical_source": "https://qazinform.com/news/g7-summit-in-france-everything-you-need-to-know-d1092b", "published_at": "2026-06-15 06:03:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-15 11:49:37.320447+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-policy", "ai-safety"], "entities": ["G7", "Emmanuel Macron", "Donald Trump", "European Union", "António Costa", "Ursula von der Leyen", "Scott Bessent", "Qazinform"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/g7-summit-in-france-everything-you-need-to-know", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/g7-summit-in-france-everything-you-need-to-know.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/g7-summit-in-france-everything-you-need-to-know.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/g7-summit-in-france-everything-you-need-to-know.jsonld"}}
