Trump said the vital shipping lane would remain toll-free under the agreement and hinted at further efforts to address tensions in Lebanon and with Hezbollah. Turning to Europe, he also pledged to push for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, calling the conflict one that “just seems to never end.” Watch the full remarks and key highlights from the summit.

00:05I want to congratulate the president last night, Cyril Ghosn won the fight against a great fighter, supposed to be
00:16unbeatable, and Cyril is from France. Did you watch the fight?
00:22Yeah. Not indirect, but I saw it this morning. That was a great fight. It was a great evening at
00:28the White House.
00:52Thank you very much for being here, and it's important that we can first have this G7, with an essential
00:58agreement with Iran, to talk of our great crises, Iran, Ukraine, our wars, their regulations,
01:08to build peace and prosperity, but also to see the means of cooperation between our economies.
01:13And that's the goal of the G7, to improve the prosperity and the cooperation elements in the different areas.
01:19And we will also celebrate the 250 years of independence, France having been alongside the United States in two days.
01:31I wanted to say, I mean, to command President Trump for his celebration yesterday and to welcome President Trump and
01:39his ministers and his team for being here in Evian for the G7.
01:44I think yesterday was signed a very important agreement, a peace deal with Iran. And it's a very important one
01:52because, first, it will fix the nuclear issue.
01:56And it's a very important matter for peace for the whole world. And it will reopen almost. It will provide
02:05peace in Lebanon. And so we are ready to take our fair share of the burden and be part of
02:10the commitment of the international community in order to support this deal.
02:15And we will discuss about that together and with colleagues later on. But it's a very important step towards peace,
02:22but as well for global economy.
02:25We will have the occasion to discuss about the war in Ukraine in order to re-engage together and negotiate
02:32a good and solid peace and sustainable peace.
02:34And President Zelensky will be with us tomorrow. And obviously, we will have the occasion to bring this G7 to
02:40speak about a series of issues from rare earths, critical minerals, trade, et cetera, where we have to build convergence
02:48among the G7 members.
02:49And it will be the occasion for us to celebrate the 250 years of independence for the U.S.
02:59And Versailles is a good place because this is where the king and his minister of foreign affairs at the
03:05time did support the U.S. during years.
03:09But as well prepared what we call the Paris Triti in 1783, which was the final point of this war.
03:18So it's a great honor and a great pleasure to have you, Mr. President, in Evian and Paris.
03:24Thank you. Thank you. So Emmanuel has been a special friend of mine. We've had a fantastic relationship. We've worked
03:34on many deals together.
03:36I'm very happy to say very signed. The deal's all signed. And the strain is already partially opened. As you
03:45know, they're doing a little hunting for a couple of mines that they've already found.
03:53But it's essentially ships are starting to go out now on Friday. It'll be completely opened. We got along very
04:00well with Iran. It's a different set of leaders.
04:04As you know, the first set is gone. The second set is gone. And we found the third set to
04:09be very smart, strong, very smart. But we ended up making a deal.
04:16I felt badly that we had to go back on the attack for two nights. And I thought a third.
04:20But we made it before that happened. But I think a lot of great things are going to happen in
04:26the Middle East right now.
04:27And very importantly, the oil is plummeting down. And the stock market is shooting up like a rocket today, like
04:37record kind of numbers.
04:39And the oil has taken its biggest plunge. And we're into the low numbers. Not quite back yet, Kevin, to
04:48the extent. But we're getting close to the numbers we were before it all started.
04:53And the main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. They fully agreed to that with strong
04:59policing powers. And they won't have a nuclear weapon, which is what it was all about, because they probably would
05:06have used it if they had it.
05:08So we had two big moments. When they terminated the JCPOA, that was the Obama deal, the Barack Hussein Obama
05:15deal. And when I terminated that, it was very important, because it was a road to a nuclear weapon. It
05:22was a horrible deal for the United States.
05:24It was a deal where billions of dollars was given to Iran. It was a deal where 1.7 billion
05:31in cash was put on a Boeing 7, well, not a 7, 757, I guess, right? But it was put
05:40on a big, beautiful Boeing 757.
05:43They needed a Boeing 747, to be honest with you, because it was a lot of cash. 1.7 billion
05:49was taken out of the banks and given to Iran. And on top of that, tens of billions of dollars
05:55was paid.
05:56So they tried to bribe them to make a deal. That didn't work. It never works. And we've done a
06:04great job. And hopefully it's going to be a good relationship and we're going to get along.
06:10And if we don't, we go back to where we started. But I don't think that's going to be necessary.
06:15The Iran deal that we made is going to bring a lot of success to the world, because the oil
06:24was really clogged up there for a while.
06:26He would call me on occasion and say, come on, please, let's go to the oil prices. But the oil
06:31is coming way down. So I'm very honored by it. I want to thank you for your help. You've always
06:37been a help.
06:38And it's an honor to be with you. We had a very good conversation yesterday with President Zelensky and President
06:46Putin. And I see maybe we can do something there. I really do. I think they're both open to it.
06:54So now that this is finished, we're going to be focusing on that, see if we can get that one
07:00done. 25,000 people a month are dying, mostly, mostly soldiers. And that shouldn't happen.
07:06But I had two very good conversations yesterday. We'll be talking about it. And we had a really exciting, I
07:13think maybe one of the most incredible evenings in the history of the White House.
07:17So we had an evening last night with the fighters. And I was very happy. I called last night, very
07:24late last night to congratulate you, because in the heavyweight division, a French fighter won.
07:30I don't know, is that maybe more important than the World Cup? To some people, it might be. To some
07:36people, it might be. You have a good team in the world.
07:38Yeah. Very good team. But you have good fighters, too. And you're a great country. And it's an honor to
07:45be with you. Thank you very much.
07:47Hey, sir. Are you going to try to attend the signing ceremony on Friday?
07:52Well, it depends. J.D.'s coming in for it. He was originally going to do it. I'll probably be gone
07:57by then. We're having dinner in a day and a half, right? We're going to be staying quite late.
08:04So I may be involved. I may not. But J.D. was coming in for that specifically. Thank you.
08:11Mr. President, when will the text of the MOU be released?
08:15I think pretty soon, I would say. I mean, I want it to be released because it's a very powerful
08:21document. It's not like the Obama document, which was just a terrible document.
08:27This is a very powerful document. And I want it to be released. So probably pretty soon. I would say
08:34after sometime after Friday, because the straight opens completely. It's open now, but it opens completely. We'll have all the
08:42mines knocked out for the most part. We have a lot of lanes right now already.
08:47Mr. President. So I think, I think sometime, I think sometime in the very near future. Yeah.
08:54Mr. President, does this, does the deal involve any sanctions really for Iran? When would that go?
08:59No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. Well, they have to. It's really a behavioral thing. If they do what they're
09:05supposed to do, that starts taking effect.
09:13Mr. Well, I would love them to do that. I don't think we're going to need much help because we
09:24have an agreement where it's going to be open and it's toll free.
09:27We had a little argument on that. It's toll free. So I don't think we're going to need much help.
09:33But I don't think it's a bad idea to have a ship or two up here from a few countries.
09:38You'd be a great country to do it because you never know what happens. But I think it's going to
09:42be open and I think it's going to be free sailing.
09:46We do want to see if we can straighten out the Lebanon thing because it just seems to just never
09:52end. And that's a mini version of what we were doing. But and it should not be tough.
09:59It should not be tough. So Hezbollah, we have to we have to have a little talk with them.
10:05I just wanted to respond in French to the question that was posed in French on the contribution.
10:14We are ready to have, from tomorrow,
10:17chasseurs who are on the place and who can aid in the mission of observation.
10:21And, in 48 hours, des frigates who can obviously be deployed.
10:25And, in two or three days, the port-avion with the frigates who accompany the whole group.
10:30Evidemment, tout ça suppose d'être souhaité et demandé par les Etats-Unis d'Amérique et l'Iran, l'Omane.
10:38C'est-à-dire les parties prenantes de l'accord et les deux parties, en particulier autour du détroit.
10:45Et nous avons agrégé avec les Britanniques une mission ad hoc.
10:50D'ores et déjà, une vingtaine de pays ont donné leurs contributions concrètes et ce qu'ils étaient prêts à
10:55faire.
10:55Et nous sommes quatre à être présents dans la région.
10:57Voilà, c'est une offre. Nous sommes à disposition.
11:00Ça montre le soutien de la communauté internationale, notre volonté de réouvrir ce détroit.
11:06Et comme l'a dit le président, peut-être que ça ne sera pas souhaité et peut-être que ce
11:09ne sera pas nécessaire.
11:10Mais, en tout cas, c'est une disposition qui marque notre volonté d'aider, de soutien et de disponibilité.
11:19Et nous sommes prêts.
11:20Vous n'êtes pas qui sur les menaces de droite ?
11:22Non, non, on est là pour discuter. Il y a des accords qui ont été signés en avance.
