Megyn Kelly was ready to bring Vice President JD Vance live onto her radio show, but she told listeners that they’d have to wait because Vance was on the phone with Trump.
Once he’d gotten mic’d up with Kelly, Vance said Trump — who is in France for the G7 conference — “just called me to check in on how things are going” and on “the progress of the deal” concerning the Iran war.
Vance told Kelly he has been trying to correct misinformation about what is and isn’t part of the deal.
Details of the agreement announced by Trump have not been made public.
The deal is centered around reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the United States’ naval blockade in the region, along with financial incentives for Iran, if it meets certain benchmarks.
For the second consecutive day, Vance flubbed the name of the Gulf alliance, referring to it as the Gulf Coast Coalition instead of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi says he would like to conclude a trade deal with Canada before he visits Canada later this year.
And Carney says he would like it done by the Group of 20 summit in Florida in mid-December.
Carney met Modi at the G7 summit and noted Modi wants to double Canada-India trade.
Carney wants to double non-U.S. trade in the next decade after Trump imposed tariffs on Canada.
The ties between India and Canada were strained under Carney’s predecessor in the wake of the 2023 killing of a Sikh activist in Canada.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had not seen the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran as of Tuesday evening, said a person familiar with the situation, who requested anonymity to discuss closed-door details.
Netanyahu’s office did not immediately respond to request for comment from The AP.
Though Israel is not party to the agreement, it is directly implicated.
Iran’s top diplomat has said that the agreement requires Israel to withdraw from Lebanon, where it is fighting the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon and where its troops occupy a large southern swath of the country.
Israeli officials have said they do not plan to withdraw.
They say they want “a strong and coordinated response” to the month-old Ebola outbreak centered on Congo, and that their countries will work more closely together on “appropriate and effective travel, quarantine, and isolation procedures” for people who have been to affected regions.
Their statement, issued on day 2 of the G7 summit notes that globally, millions of people will be traveling in coming weeks for the World Cup and other reasons.
“We must ensure that they can do so safely,” they said.
They pledged support to help develop and deliver vaccines.
They also issued statements about aid for developing countries and committing to accelerate the fight against cancer.
The Senate Democratic leader is calling on Trump to brief Congress and the American people on the memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war in Iran.
Schumer says Americans have been told dozens of times over the course of the conflict that it was over, only to be disappointed.
“Trump has yet to give Americans a reason to believe that this latest peace deal won’t leave them disappointed again,” Schumer said Tuesday on the Senate floor.
Schumer says the conflict has left America worse off, with gas prices dramatically higher and an Iranian regime he says is more extreme than before.
“Trump needs to reveal the deal and end this war once and for all,” Schumer says.
An International Energy Agency report released Tuesday says the Iran war could cost Southeast Asia billions of dollars if it doesn’t diversify sources of energy more quickly.
The energy shock from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz sent the region into a state of energy triage, leading to higher energy bills and rising inflation.
In response, the region has seen rising sales of electric vehicles, a renewed interest in nuclear power and a boom in rooftop solar and other renewable energy installations, the report says.
But without more sweeping reforms, the region’s energy import bill could triple from $80 billion in 2024 to $245 billion by 2035, the report warns.
And meanwhile, the conflict has reinforced the need for coal in times of crisis, a setback for efforts to phase out fossil fuels.
European officials said Zelenskyy showed Trump some photos of the damage at the Dormition Cathedral, a revered religious landmark in Kyiv that was set ablaze in a Russian bombing.
Three officials with knowledge of the matter spoke anonymously, because they were not allowed to disclose details about leaders’ talks at the G7 meeting.
Without confirming Zelenskyy’s use of photos, French Foreign Ministry spokesman Pascal Confavreux said in an Associated Press interview that the strike was discussed at the leaders’ meeting and that “everyone” was shocked.
Asked whether Zelenskyy showed photos of the church attack to Trump and other leaders, Confavreux said “the discussions remain in the room.”
But he confirmed that they discussed the latest strikes “and how unacceptable they were for everyone, because they were against international law.”
Iran’s top diplomat said Tuesday that the tentative deal to end the war with the United States would require Israel to withdraw from Lebanon — a condition Israel has already rejected.
The contradictory interpretations could sink the agreement and lead to the resumption of all-out war.
The deal between the U.S. and Iran has not been made public, and while Israel is not party to the agreement, it is part of the war: It joined the U.S. in launching strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, and has since fought the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon and seized large swaths of that country.
“Without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied during this war, the war has not fully come to an end,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.
Switzerland’s foreign ministry says a signing ceremony for a deal between the United States and Iran will take place Friday at the Bürgenstock resort near the city of Luzern.
The Federal Department of Foreign Affairs says the location was proposed by Pakistani and Qatari mediators, along with the U.S. and Iran.
It said it has been in close contact with the four countries about the possible signing of the “memorandum of understanding.”
Details of the agreement announced by Trump have not been made public.
The deal is centered around reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the United States’ naval blockade in the region, along with financial incentives for Iran if it meets certain benchmarks.
The resort, which sits atop a mountain and features breathtaking views of Lake Lucerne, hosted an international conference on Ukraine two years ago.
The working session is focused on international investment.
In addition to the core G7 members, leaders from Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, South Korea, Qatar, Ukraine, and the UAE were invited to take part in the talks.
Trump was sitting between Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He’s scheduled to have a face-to-face meeting with Modi on Wednesday.
Republicans on Capitol Hill say they want Trump to provide more information about the agreement between the United States and Iran, with some expressing skepticism that the deal can deter Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon.
Britain has announced a new set of sanctions targeting the “shadow fleet” Russia uses to ship oil and gas and the finance networks used by Moscow to evade Western sanctions.
The sanctioned ships include several vessels recently purchased by Russia to ship liquefied natural gas from its sanctioned Arctic LNG 2 project.
Britain says it has now sanctioned more than 600 shadow fleet vessels.
U.K. troops seized a Russian shadow fleet vessel in the English Channel for the first time last weekend.
The sanctions were announced as Prime Minister Keir Starmer attends the G7 summit in France.
He is due to meet Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday.
Zelenskyy is getting some time for private talks with Macron before he is scheduled to meet with the other G7 leaders, according to the French government.
“The entire ‘Seven’ supports Ukraine unanimously today,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters at the doorstep of the G7 summit today.
He said that all G7 partners of Ukraine recognize Ukraine’s readiness to meet with the Russian side to establish a ceasefire, its active engagement on the battlefield, and its effective capabilities in mid- and long-range strikes.
The Russian side, meanwhile, is failing to show any serious activity toward peace, he said, calling Russia’s actions “a game.”
“It’s important that at the G7 meeting everyone realizes that.
It’s important.”
Zelenskyy said he had a positive meeting with G7 leaders who supported Ukraine’s need for more Patriot missiles and discussed how to increase production by licensing production.
Speaking during a bilateral meeting with Carney after earlier meeting with the all the G7 leaders, including Trump, Zelenskyy said his allies agreed that Russia is not winning and that they have to push Putin to end the war.
Patriot missiles are able to counter Russian ballistic missile attacks on Ukraine’s power grid and cities.
In a lighter moment, a microphone caught Trump joking about stealing Macron ‘s watch.
After one of the leaders asked where Macron went during the working lunch, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said, “He’s left his watch here.
We’ve got his watch.”
“Give me it if he left, gimmie,” Trump responded, followed by laughter by the group.
France’s Brigitte Macron led a tour of spouses of world leaders to the lakeside town of Yvoire during the G7 summit in France.
With security in tow, Macron led the group — Canada’s Diana Fox Carney, Britain’s Victoria Starmer, Germany’s Charlotte Merz, Kenya’s Rachel Kimetto, Brazil’s Janja Lula da Silva, and Heiko von der Leyen, husband of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen — on a walk through the town on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Children gave the spouses bouquets of flowers and locals gawked at the small group of dignitaries.
Macron is offering a bicycle to Trump and each of the other G7 leaders at the Evian summit.
“All seven heads of state will receive a personalized bicycle,” said the president of the Union Cycliste Internationale, David Lappartient.
The gifts are meant to promote the Cycling World Championships scheduled next year in the French Alps.
Lappartient posted pictures on X of the white bicycles bearing the flag of each of the G7 nations beneath the handlebars.
Trump, who turned 80 on Sunday, is not known to bike and has joked about doing minimal exercise beyond his regular golf outings.
Trump and other leaders of the G7 gathered with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for an hour and 15 minutes Tuesday morning at the summit in Evian-les-Bains.
The talks focused on how to “build peace and security for Ukraine and Europe,” the French organizers of the G7 summit in the resort town of Evian-les-Bains placed Ukraine high on the agenda during efforts to end the war more than four years after Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Macron said he would urge Trump to maintain U.S. support for Ukraine and increase pressure on Russia to help secure a peace agreement.
“The right negotiation is one with Ukraine and Russia at the table, with Europeans and Americans also present,” Macron said Monday.
