President Trump's G7 trip to France will be dominated by the escalating conflict with Iran, exposing deep divisions among allies. - The summit was originally focused on economic and security issues but is now overshadowed by the Iran war.

- Trump withdrew 5,000 troops from Germany over European reluctance to support the war, later redirecting them to Poland. - Analysts say U.S.

pressure has strengthened European cohesion but Europe remains in a bind due to economic fallout. - The U.S.

faces limits in containing the crisis, raising questions about its ability to confront larger powers. The summit will also address economic ties, critical minerals, AI, and the Ebola outbreak.
