US President Donald Trump made a striking remark during the G7 summit in Evian, France, telling fellow world leaders, “I’m the boss,” as he walked into a working session on the final day of the meeting.
The comment, delivered in a light and informal tone, sparked laughter among some of the leaders present, including French President Emmanuel Macron, who is hosting the summit. Macron responded with a brief exchange of greetings before the meeting continued.
The three-day gathering brought together leaders of the world’s largest advanced economies, including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Canada. Discussions focused on global security challenges, economic cooperation, artificial intelligence risks, and ongoing conflicts involving Iran and Ukraine.
Trump’s presence remained a central focus throughout the summit, with officials noting his active participation in discussions and his decision to stay through the final day. The meeting ended with a joint statement agreed upon by the member nations.
After the formal sessions, Macron also hosted Trump for a private dinner at the Palace of Versailles, marking a more informal close to the summit’s activities.
The G7 leaders concluded the summit with renewed talks on strengthening cooperation amid rising global tensions and technological concerns.
