He also met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, while making controversial remarks about Israel's existence without his support.
The G7 summit brings together leaders of major industrialized democracies to address pressing global issues. Trump's bilateral meetings, particularly with Zelensky, are crucial for understanding the future direction of US policy on the Ukraine war and its potential impact on international alliances.
