During the G7 summit held in Evian-les-Bains, France, on June 18–19, 2026, President Trump delivered a strong admonition, declaring that "anyone who sells nuclear weapons to Iran will face dire consequences". He emphasized the importance of the US-Iran ceasefire as a crucial measure to prevent what he termed "an economic disaster." Additionally, Trump indicated that should Israel face provocation from Iran, he would support further military actions by Israel against Iran. This dual strategy of defending Israel's right to respond while cautioning against nuclear proliferation illustrates the delicate balance the Trump administration is striving to maintain as negotiations with Tehran on nuclear issues commence over the next 60 days.
