Trump Says U.S. Has 'Nothing to Do' with Ukraine War at G7 Summit Advertisement SKIP ADVERTISEMENT The Group of 7 summit in France was intended to focus fresh attention on the war in Ukraine, which has largely fallen off President Trump’s radar since the start of the war with Iran. On Tuesday, President Trump dashed those hopes, making it clear at the summit that the Ukraine conflict, which he once said he could end in 24 hours, was no longer high on his priority list. “Look, we have nothing to do with it,” Mr. Trump said of the war. “It has no impact on us, other than we sell weapons” to Ukraine, he added. “We’re thousands of miles away.” Mr. Trump’s remarks underscored a new security reality for U.S. allies in Europe, who for eight decades relied on American protection until the Trump administration made it clear that they should do more to defend themselves. Mr. Trump said he had met with Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, at the summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, where the two leaders also participated in a discussion with other world leaders about the war in Ukraine. Mr. Trump described the meeting with Mr. Zelensky as “very good” and said he would meet with him again l…

Optimism after Trump's 'very good' meeting with Zelensky - RTÉ Updated / Tuesday, 16 Jun 2026 19:57 US President Donald Trump said Russia should make peace with Ukraine after a "very good" meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky, in comments that sparked cautious optimism among G7 leaders that a peace deal could be struck. The upbeat mood over the Ukraine war, now in its fifth year, stands in stark contrast to Mr Zelensky's meeting with Mr Trump in the Oval Office last year, when he was told he had no leverage in potential peace talks with Russia. Mr Zelensky and his European allies came to this week's G7 summit in the French lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains hoping to impress upon Mr Trump that Ukraine's battlefield fortunes had improved thanks to its drone incursions deep into Russia.

Wary Europeans have learned the hard way not to take Mr Trump at his word. Nevertheless, the summit ended with a mood of cautious optimism that America might possibly be persuaded to renew some support for Ukraine. Mr Trump went to Evian at a time of acrimony and transatlantic distrust. He left calling the trip a “Great Success”. The leaders of the seven member countries—America, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan—described hisdeal with Iranas a “breakthrough”.
