President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with several Middle Eastern leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during next week’s Group of Seven (G7) summit in France, according to senior U.S. administration officials. The summit, hosted by France in the town of Evian-les-Bains starting Monday, will bring together leaders from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, and representatives of the European Union.

Trump’s planned meetings include bilateral discussions with the leaders of Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, France, and India. Although no formal bilateral meeting with Zelensky is planned, officials indicated the U.S. and Ukrainian presidents might hold informal talks on the sidelines of the summit. Key topics expected to be addressed include economic growth, development, supply chain resilience, illegal migration, and artificial intelligence. The president also intends to focus on strengthening the supply chains for critical minerals essential to advanced technologies.

The U.S. president is slated to attend a dinner at the Palace of Versailles on Wednesday before returning to Washington. The event marks a critical platform for global leaders to discuss pressing geopolitical and economic issues amid ongoing conflicts and technological competition.

Security preparations for the summit have extended beyond France’s borders into neighboring Switzerland, where the city of Geneva is preparing for large-scale protests. Authorities in Geneva anticipate around 50,000 demonstrators to participate in an anti-G7 protest scheduled for Sunday. In response, Swiss officials have implemented extensive security measures, including the closure and control of 27 border crossings between France and Switzerland starting Friday evening.

G7 leaders are expected to arrive in Geneva, located on Switzerland’s western French-speaking side, before being transported to the summit venue in Evian-les-Bains. The Swiss army has deployed 4,000 soldiers within its territory to maintain order during the three-day event. France is also mobilizing 8,000 police officers to secure the summit.

The heightened security and protest preparations have prompted widespread business closures in Geneva, with many shops boarding up windows to prevent potential damage. Local business owners report significant impacts on their operations. Damien Gall, who owns a carpentry company, oversees the installation of extensive wooden panels protecting premises across the city. Taxi driver Lamine Lasbet described the situation as “catastrophic” for his work, noting he planned to stay home during the unrest, resulting in several lost working days.

Residents and officials expressed concern about the spillover effects of the summit and protests into Swiss territory. Eric Affolter, proprietor of a souvenir shop, recalled property damage during a previous G8 summit in 2013, which had similarly affected Geneva. Local authorities estimate the security costs related to the summit and protests could total approximately 20 million Swiss francs (about $25 million).
