(Photo credit: AP) US President Donald Trump sparked laughter among world leaders at the G7 summit in France on Wednesday after arriving late to a key meeting and jokingly declaring, “I’m the boss.”The light-hearted moment came as leaders gathered for the final day of talks at the lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains in the French Alps. Trump, the last leader to enter the room, made the remark as he took his seat beside French President Emmanuel Macron ahead of discussions on global trade and economic challenges.According to reports from the summit, Trump walked into the meeting and proclaimed, “I’m the boss!” to fellow leaders already seated around a large oval conference table. The comment drew laughter from those present, while Trump responded with a grin before formal proceedings began.The exchange provided a lighter moment during a summit dominated by discussions on major international crises, including the war in Ukraine, efforts to secure peace in the Middle East and a tentative agreement between Washington and Tehran aimed at ending the Iran conflict.Leaders later endorsed the broad framework of Trump’s proposed deal with Iran, although details remain limited.Speaking to reporters during a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Trump said: “Nobody knows what it is but it’s very strong.”He added: “It’s a memorandum of understanding and if I don’t like it, we’ll go back to shooting at them, dropping bombs.”Away from the formal discussions, hot microphones captured several informal conversations among leaders throughout the summit. Topics ranged from football and smoking habits to jokes about misplaced watches and even a cryptic reference by Trump to Greenland.The final day of the summit focused on artificial intelligence and economic growth, with leading technology executives, including Sam Altman, attending discussions on the future of AI and the growing dominance of American firms in the sector.
