President Trump is set to meet with Middle East leaders next week as he travels to France for the annual G7 forum – where Iran will be a major topic.

The president is expected to head to Evian, the town on Lake Geneva known for its natural mineral water springs, for the Group of Seven gathering, which includes the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Trump is expected to land Monday afternoon, local time, and hold a bilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron before a leaders’ dinner.

He has also been scheduled for separate meetings Tuesday with the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani; the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi; and UAE’s Emir Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

On Wednesday, Trump will meet one-on-one with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and then Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The White House reached out to Saudi Arabia about a bilateral meeting, but the schedule didn’t work out, a senior administration official said Saturday during a briefing call with reporters.

Notably absent from the schedule is a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has expressed repeated frustration that talks to end Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II have taken a backseat since the US and Israel have been locked in a months-long war with Iran.

Though the G7 leaders will meet with Zelensky as a group on Tuesday, Trump is not scheduled to sit down with the Ukrainian leader.

Last month, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted negotiations with Ukraine and Russia were effectively on pause, saying “if someone else would like to handle it, they should,” when asked whether Europe should take over mediation.

The update on the president’s schedule came as news emerged of a potential peace deal between Iran and the United States, which Pakistani officials claimed could be signed within 24 hours.

“There’s a lot that the G7 countries have said that they can do once that deal goes forward. Iran is going to open up the Strait of Hormuz, that’s a requirement to be open with no toll. As they do that, we will lift our blockade,” a senior administration official said.

The official noted France and the UK said they could put together a coalition to demine the strait.

“As the strait opens, we’re going to be very involved in demining, and to the extent that G7 countries can participate in that, that’s also going to be a helpful thing to get things back to normal as quickly as possible,” the official said.

Trump will head to Paris Wednesday on his way back to the US for a dinner with Macron at the Palace of Versailles.
