GENEVA \u2014 President Donald Trump will touch down in France on Monday for a summit meeting with allies who are at odds with him over a pair of wars: one they don\u2019t believe he should have started, and another they want him to do more to stop.<\/p>\n

Trump will spend two days at the Group of Seven (G7) meeting of advanced democracies in the resort town of Evian-les-Bains, in which both the Iran war and Russia-Ukraine conflict figure to loom large.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After launching an attack against Iran on Feb. 28, Trump has complained that European allies haven\u2019t done enough to advance the American war aims.<\/p>\n

Mocking British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump said in the spring: \u201cThis is not Winston Churchill that we\u2019re dealing with.\u201d <\/p>\n

For their part, Europeans have objected that Trump didn\u2019t bother to consult them beforehand about a war they argue was avoidable.<\/p>\n

French President Emmanuel Macron, the summit host, has described Trump\u2019s military assault on Iran as \u201coutside the framework of international law.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Amid these tensions, Trump and other G7 participants are scheduled to meet with Middle East leaders as he works toward a final peace deal with Iran. <\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Trump and his counterparts will sit down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss ways to end that conflict on fair terms.<\/p>\n

Trump famously told Zelenskyy in a contentious Oval Office meeting last year that he \u201cdoesn\u2019t have the cards,\u201d pressing him to agree to a ceasefire. Since then, Zelenskyy\u2019s military has gained traction against Russia through its use of a sophisticated drone arsenal that has confounded Russian forces. <\/p>\n

Whatever cards Zelenskyy held in 2025, he holds better ones now, analysts, European leaders and some Republican lawmakers say. Ukraine\u2019s resilience gives Trump more leverage in telling Russian President Vladimir Putin that he needs to withdraw troops and end the fighting, they said. The question is whether Trump will use it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Russians seem to be on their back foot,\u201d said William Taylor, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine now with the Atlantic Council think tank. <\/p>\n

Asked what Trump might say at the G7 meeting, one of his confidants, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told NBC News: \u201cHe\u2019s going to vent about their [European leaders] lack of support in Iran. And I\u2019m hoping he\u2019ll reset and re-engage in Ukraine-Russia. I hope he will understand that Ukraine is more than holding their own and now is the time put pressure on Putin to get this thing over with.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A wildcard in any summit meeting is Trump\u2019s mood. He\u2019ll fly to Evian straight from the Ultimate Fighting Championship cage match that he staged on the White House grounds, an event that he had excitedly anticipated.<\/p>\n

Trump said Sunday he reached a breakthrough in the Iran war, posting on his social media site that a \u201cdeal\u201d with Iran was done and the crucial Strait of Hormuz shipping lane would reopen without Iran charging a toll for passage. That was the status quo before the war. The deal\u2019s success will hinge on whether Iran ultimately develops a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

However buoyed he might feel coming into the summit, the company of Western leaders has at times turned Trump sour. At a G7 meeting in 2018, during his first term, he refused to sign the joint statement and disparaged the host, then-French Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as \u201cvery dishonest and weak.\u201d<\/p>\n

The following year he questioned whether the G7 was worth it, according to a CNN report.<\/p>\n

This time, Macron is working to stave offany discord.<\/p>\n

France postponed the summit a day so that Trump wouldn\u2019t have to miss the UFC fight, which coincided with his 80th<\/sup> birthday.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

At Macron\u2019s invitation, when the summit ends Trump will meet the French leader at the Palace of Versailles for a private dinner.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Macron extended this private invitation for him to go to Versailles for this extravagant dinner, knowing that you know President Trump is one to enjoy the pomp and circumstance for an invitation that doesn\u2019t sound like it\u2019s been extended\u201d to other world leaders, said Ned Price, a former State Department spokesman in Joe Biden\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

Still, Trump\u2019s actions over the past year have given rise to mutual suspicion that doesn\u2019t vanish overnight. Trump began his second term with ambitions of making Canada, a G7 member, the 51st<\/sup> state. He alarmed much of Europe with his threat to take over Greenland, a territory of Denmark.<\/p>\n

The wars amount to another flashpoint. On either side of the Atlantic, leaders want something they contend the other isn\u2019t delivering. <\/p>\n

European democracies, wary of an emboldened Russia, are united in blaming Putin for the war. They want him defeated and Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty preserved. Ahead of the summit, a Macron aide told reporters that France wants the members to agree on the need to sustain support for Ukraine. What\u2019s more, France doesn\u2019t want Ukraine to cede territory to Russia, the aide said.<\/p>\n

Yet Trump has taken a more agnostic posture, faulting Zelenskyy at times for not being amenable to a compromise that would swiftly end the fighting. Trump\u2019s mantra is the war needs to end \u2014 quickly. What worries European leaders is that he\u2019s so eager for a peace deal that he\u2019d let Russia acquire territory that it doesn\u2019t control and that rightfully belongs to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe need the war to end. We\u2019re happy to have that happen, however possible,\u201d a senior Trump administration official told reporters in a briefing last week.<\/p>\n

As for Trump, Europe\u2019s reluctance to join the attack on Iran reinforces his conviction that when the U.S. needs allies, they won\u2019t be there to help.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe paradox is the U.S. is telling us in Europe that we need to do more in Iran,\u201d said a European Union official, speaking on condition of anonymity. \u201cAnd there are a lot of Europeans who\u2019ve said the U.S. has left us alone with Ukraine. It goes both ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the eve of the summit, Putin and Zelenskyy separately phoned Trump to congratulate him on his milestone birthday. Both mentioned the war, making arguments that might stick with Trump as he sits down with fellow leaders on the shores of Lake Geneva to map strategy. <\/p>\n

Zelenskyy said in a statement that he discussed battlefield dynamics and \u201chow our position has strengthened.\u201d <\/p>\n

Putin made sure to praise a president known to have a high threshold for flattery.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe Russian president did not hide his respect for Donald Trump\u2019s fighting qualities, his ability to take a hit, successfully overcome obstacles, and persistently achieve his goals,\u201d a Russian read-out of the nearly hour-long call said.<\/p>\n
