Paris – 16.06.2026: France’s President Emmanuel Macron will speak about the international situation on June 18 in the television program “L’Evenement” on France 2. This interview takes place immediately after the G7 Summit in Évian, which was held from June 15 to 17, 2026, in the French city.
The G7 Summit brought together the heads of state and government of the seven leading industrialized nations: Germany, France, Canada, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Representatives of the European Union also took part. The focus of the meeting was primarily on the global geopolitical challenges, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
A central topic was the rapprochement between the USA and Iran. President Donald Trump and President Emmanuel Macron discussed a peace memorandum aimed at ending the conflict in the Middle East and reopening the Strait of Hormuz for international shipping traffic. This initiative was supported by other G7 member states, which welcomed the diplomatic progress.
Support for Ukraine was also an important issue. Macron emphasized the importance of Western unity on the Ukraine question and invited Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the summit to reinforce the G7 countries’ solidarity with Ukraine.
In addition to political topics, participants also addressed economic challenges such as global trade conflicts and the regulation of artificial intelligence. Macron aimed to establish the summit as a forum for multilateral cooperation to jointly tackle international challenges.
In his upcoming interview on France 2, President Macron will elaborate on the summit’s outcomes and outline the next steps in international diplomacy. The conversation offers insight into the French perspective on the global security situation and France’s role in world politics.
The international public is attentively watching how new momentum for stability and peace emerges from the talks in Évian. Especially given the tense situation in several regions of the world, the coherent strategy of the G7 countries is of great importance. France intends to further expand its role as a mediator and leading power in Europe and beyond.
The G7 Summit in Évian thus marks an important moment for global cooperation. The coming weeks will show how the agreed measures are implemented and what impact they have on the world political situation.
This interview with Emmanuel Macron on France 2 will serve as a key source for assessing French foreign policy and international dynamics following the summit.
