EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France – U.S. 
President Donald Trump on Wednesday told a roomful of global leaders “I’m the boss,” as he and other G7 heads acknowledged Ukraine’s improved battlefield fortunes with a unified pledge of support and fresh sanctions against Russia. 
Trump’s comment — a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment of an unspoken truth hanging over ​the June 15 to 17 summit of the Group of Seven Western powers in the French resort of Evian-les-Bains — followed ‌a joint ‌leaders’ statement that could bolster Kyiv’s growing leverage in potential peace talks with Moscow. 
Ukrainian President Volodymyr ​Zelenskyy and his allies came to the G7 hoping to convince Trump that Ukraine’s fightback is delivering results, and that Russia is in no position to dictate terms for any peace deal. 
The joint statement and comments ⁠from leaders suggest Trump has warmed to Zelenskyy’s argument after years of skepticism. 
Trump told a press conference that Russia was losing more soldiers ⁠than Ukraine in the war, describing Moscow as the “offensive” party in the conflict. 
Trump showed a “real change in approach” regarding the Ukraine war, French President Emmanuel Macron said earlier in the day. 
Other European leaders ​made similar comments. 
A G7 summit in Canada last ⁠year ended without any joint stance on Ukraine. 
This time, ahead of a glitzy dinner in the Versailles palace, both Macron and Trump called the G7 summit a success. 
However, any ⁠hopes of strong-arming Moscow into ​peace talks still rely on Trump commitments, which can be elusive. 
The U.S. president ​made his “I’m the boss” remark to G7 chiefs and reporters as he arrived to take his seat ​at a ‌session on global economic security. 
G7 chiefs also welcomed a preliminary peace deal between the United States and Iran and said they were ready to help implement it, but left with no commitment from Trump on what their role, if any, could be. 
European allies fear an inexperienced U.S. negotiating team may fail to ‌secure a robust nuclear agreement or address Iran’s ballistic missile program in the next phase, risking a prolonged standoff. 
Meanwhile, Trump stressed that the memorandum of understanding with Iran was not final, and that he could resume a bombing campaign if it was not honored. 
“If I don’t like it, if they don’t behave, we’ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their ​head, OK?” ​ 
he said. 
And although European allies appeared supportive of the preliminary memorandum in public, diplomats cautioned ​that getting a lasting deal on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile program as well as its support for proxy forces in the ⁠Middle East is no small challenge. 
Separately, G7 leaders agreed to step up coordination to cut their countries’ reliance...
