Lee holds brief talk with Trump at G7 summit

16 de junho de 2026

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung attended the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, and held a brief encounter with U.S. President Donald Trump.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung attended the Group of Seven summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, on Tuesday as an invited partner country for the second consecutive year.

During a group photo session, Lee held a roughly 30-second conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump through an interpreter. Trump inquired about inter-Korean ties, and Lee asked him to lead a peaceful resolution of North Korean issues similar to his approach on the Middle East war. Trump expressed willingness to pursue such a resolution.

Lee also held separate bilateral meetings with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on the summit sidelines to discuss deepening ties.

Trump is blatantly ignoring Lee Jae-myung, just giving him a quick glance, and they're spreading fake news claiming that Lee Jae-myung greeting by himself counts as a conversation. 😁😅😘
