17.06.2025The Day Trump Abandoned the Summit
Trump abruptly departed the G7 summit in Canada after calling for Tehran's immediate evacuation, transforming what should have been coordinated diplomacy into public discord. The departure triggered a war of words with Macron, who had suggested regime change through force would be a "strategic error." Trump responded by attacking the French president personally, declaring "Emmanuel se trompe toujours" and dismissing Macron's ceasefire claims.

The Israel-Iran conflict entered its fifth consecutive night with Israeli forces claiming to have eliminated Iran's new chief of staff, just days after killing his predecessor. Large explosions rocked Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem as both sides exchanged missile strikes. By evening, Trump demanded Iran's "unconditional surrender" while revealing the US knew Khamenei's location but wouldn't kill him "for the moment."

Domestically, François Fillon received a definitive four-year suspended sentence in the Penelopegate case, while the National Assembly voted to eliminate low-emission zones, dealing the Macron government a legislative defeat.

04:31Trump Abandons G7 Over Iran Crisis

The newspapers report on escalating tensions at the G7 summit as the Israel-Iran conflict intensifies into its fifth consecutive night. Trump departed the Canadian summit prematurely after calling for Tehran's immediate evacuation, while the G7 issued a firm declaration against Iran (BFMTV, Le Figaro, Le Parisien). Macron countered Trump's approach, warning that attempting regime change in Iran through external bombing would constitute a "strategic error," arguing that those who believe in saving countries "against themselves" through airstrikes have always been wrong (France TV Info). The conflict shows Iran launching "uninterrupted" strikes while Israel continues targeting Iranian television and other infrastructure (Le Parisien). Markets remain skeptical about oil supply disruptions despite the ongoing hostilities (Les Echos).

06:29Trump Lashes Out at Macron Over Iran

The newspapers report on escalating diplomatic tensions between Trump and Macron over the Israel-Iran conflict response. Trump publicly attacked Macron, stating "Emmanuel se trompe toujours" (Emmanuel is always wrong) and "Emmanuel ne comprend jamais" (Emmanuel never understands), denying that his early departure from the G7 was related to ceasefire efforts despite Macron's contrary statements (Le Figaro, Le Parisien, L'Express, Libération). The conflict continues its fifth day with strong explosions reported in Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem following Iranian missile strikes, while Tehran residents flee the capital en masse (BFMTV, Libération). French retirement negotiations conclude after four months with unions' hopes for major pension system reform definitively abandoned, as discussions originally promised "without totems or taboos" narrowed significantly during consultations (France TV Info).

07:33Trump Denies Macron's Ceasefire Claims

The newspapers report on Israel's elimination of Iran's chief of staff, four days after killing his predecessor, as the conflict escalates with massive explosions in Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem following Iranian missile strikes (BFMTV, France TV Info, Le Figaro, Libération). Trump publicly contradicted Macron's claims about ceasefire negotiations, stating the French president has "no idea" why he left the G7 early and accusing him of understanding "nothing" about his intentions regarding the Iran-Israel conflict (Le Monde, Le Parisien, L'Express). The diplomatic rift deepened after Macron suggested during a G7 press conference that Americans had made "an offer" for meetings with Iranians, which Trump vigorously denied. Meanwhile, Tehran residents continue fleeing the capital as Israel's "Rising Lion" operation enters its fifth day with sustained aerial bombardments.

08:49Trump Storms Out of G7

The newspapers report on Trump's abrupt departure from the G7 summit, which devolved into diplomatic chaos as the Israel-Iran conflict escalated. Trump publicly attacked Macron, stating "Emmanuel never understands anything" and dismissing his ceasefire claims, while China accused the US president of "throwing oil on the fire" by advising Tehran residents to evacuate immediately (Le Monde, Le Point, L'Express). The G7 summit illustrated Western disunity during the Middle East crisis, with Trump rejecting multilateralism and Washington contradicting Macron's statements about American negotiation offers (Le Point, Mediapart). Domestically, four-month pension negotiations concluded with unions' hopes for major retirement system reform definitively abandoned, as discussions narrowed significantly from their initial "without totems or taboos" promise (France TV Info). The media also covered sexual violence allegations against police and gendarmes in a #MeToo investigation, with women reporting systematic abuse by officers exploiting their authority (Libération).

The newspapers report on Israel's ambassador to the US warning of "several surprises" planned for Thursday-Friday night as the Israel-Iran conflict continues for its fifth consecutive day (Le Figaro, Le Parisien). Trump declared he wants "a real end" to the conflict rather than a ceasefire, while tensions at the G7 reached new lows with Trump insulting Macron, saying "Emmanuel se trompe toujours" (Emmanuel is always wrong), leading to what Le Point describes as a diplomatic fiasco illustrating Western disunity (Le Monde, Le Point). Iran announced strikes "without interruption" after Israel targeted Iranian national television and other infrastructure, with both countries exchanging missiles and threats for the fifth straight night (Le Parisien). The coverage reveals France's limited influence in the crisis, with L'Express noting France's "featherweight" status in Middle East diplomacy despite supporting Israel against Iran.
