European leaders are preparing to engage US President Donald Trump on two key geopolitical issues during the G7 summit in France: the evolving Iran agreement and the future course of negotiations to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The discussions come as the summit is dominated by concerns over security in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

European governments are seeking more details on the framework of the US-Iran agreement, including how Iran's nuclear activities will be monitored and how compliance mechanisms will be enforced. While leaders from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Egypt are expected to participate in discussions on regional stability, diplomats indicate that detailed negotiations on Iran's nuclear programme are unlikely during the summit.

The summit follows recent announcements by the Trump administration regarding a deal aimed at ending hostilities with Iran and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global energy supplies. European leaders remain cautious and are expected to assess the potential risks and durability of the arrangement before offering full support.

Ukraine is expected to be another major focus. European officials believe the battlefield and diplomatic position of Kyiv has strengthened and want to convince Trump that earlier US-backed peace proposals offered excessive concessions to Russia. Leaders are expected to discuss a framework for meaningful negotiations with Moscow while maintaining support for Ukraine's sovereignty and security. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is participating in the summit discussions.

The G7 gathering highlights growing efforts by European nations to maintain a unified Western position on both Middle East security and the Ukraine conflict, while managing differences with Washington on the path toward lasting peace agreements.
