On Tuesday morning, leaders will discuss support for Ukraine with Zelenskyy, before moving on to a session on the crisis in the Middle East with leaders of Gulf countries, and then discuss international solidarity before attending a gala dinner.
On the last day, after a discussion on economic growth, leaders will have a lunch with artificial intelligence heavyweights including Sam Altman and Arthur Mensch and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. It will come shortly after Anthropic disabled all access to its latest AI models after the American government ordered it to suspend access for non-U.S. users.
Macron will wrap up the Evian summit in the early afternoon with a press conference. Other leaders, including Trump, are also expected to speak to the press.
The real action often happens away from the official roundtables, with bilateral meetings like the one between Macron and Trump on Monday, the U.S. president’s sessions with leaders of Gulf countries, and a Monday meeting between Costa, von der Leyen and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Will Trump stay this time?
Last year, in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Trump abruptly left the G7 summit to deal with a deepening Iran-Israel conflict. The specter of a Trump early departure this week has been haunting Macron, who multiplied efforts to make sure that the U.S. president stays in France.
