Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reached the Group of Seven summit in Evian, France, where he is set to participate in a session on June 17 entitled 'Building Peace and Security for Ukraine and Europe,' but he will not engage in a one-on-one meeting with President Trump — indicating Ukraine's reduced influence in Washington. European leaders, including French President Macron and German Chancellor Scholz, are advocating strongly for a Ukraine-centric agenda, while Trump seems primarily concerned with the Iran agreement. Additionally, there are indications that the US is contemplating reductions to its 84,000 military personnel stationed in Europe, marking the most significant shifts in US military presence on the continent in many years. Analysts describe the tensions between Trump and NATO allies regarding burden-sharing and the Iran conflict as the most severe the alliance has faced since its inception.
