Emmanuel Macron has invited Donald Trump to a high-profile dinner at the historic Palace of Versailles following the upcoming G7 summit, according to sources familiar with the matter.
France will host this year’s G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains from June 15 to 17. Macron is reportedly planning an elaborate post-summit reception at Versailles as part of efforts to reinforce diplomatic ties among Western allies.
It remains unclear, however, whether Trump will attend either the summit or the proposed dinner. His participation is still under consideration, with White House officials confirming receipt of the invitation but noting that no final decision has been made.
The invitation comes amid heightened diplomatic tensions between Trump and several G7 leaders, including Keir Starmer. Disagreements over issues such as Iran policy and cooperation within NATO have strained relations ahead of the summit.
French officials indicated that details of the Versailles event are still being finalized. Observers note that Trump’s absence from the gathering could complicate Macron’s broader goal of projecting unity among key Western powers.
