Trump tells G7 leaders 'I am the leader' at summit in Evian

EVIAN, France — U.S. President Donald Trump greeted other leaders with "I am the leader" as he entered the morning session on the final day of the G7 summit in France, according to Reuters. The remark drew smiles from the leaders in the room, and French President Emmanuel Macron responded by asking Trump how he was, after which the two spoke briefly. The summit was held in Evian, a town on the shores of Lake Geneva near the Swiss border, and brought together the leaders of the world's seven major industrialized economies. Trump attended meetings in Evian throughout the three-day gathering and took part in discussions on trade, the global economy and international security that were on the G7 agenda. On the closing day, the G7 leaders issued a joint communiqué. No further details on the leaders' final declaration were immediately available.
