President Donald Trump has landed in Évian-les-Bains, on Lake Geneva, ahead of the G7 summit, according to reports in Israeli media. The arrival shifts from earlier expectations of Geneva, as summit venue logistics placed world leaders at the French lakeside resort.
President Donald Trump arrived in Évian-les-Bains, France, on Monday evening, touching down ahead of the G7 summit at the lakeside venue on the French shore of Lake Geneva. The landing in Évian—not Geneva as earlier expected—was confirmed by reports in Israeli media citing movement of the presidential aircraft.
The arrival follows a day of diplomatic activity. Earlier Monday, Trump departed Washington for Europe while U.S. and Iranian representatives held preliminary talks in Doha, as The Zioneer reported at 12:17. The summit venue is on the French side of the lake, across from the Swiss city where a US-Iran signing ceremony has been anticipated.
Unanswered: whether Trump will use the G7 sidelines to hold the Middle East summit with Qatar, Egypt, and UAE leaders that a US official confirmed for Tuesday (The Zioneer, June 13). There has been no on-record confirmation of the Iranian delegation's arrival or the signing timetable.
