#Trump & other world leaders are in Evian-les-Bains, a French spa town [nice work if you can get it 🙄], for the 3-day #G7 summit, where a *tentative* deal to end the #IranWar has been a prominent topic thus far. The leaders have held challenging discussions about ending #Russia’s #war in #Ukraine & will address the #MiddleEast crisis as the summit continues.
