Trump did not greet Zelensky at the G7 summit in France

U.S. President Donald Trump pointedly ignored Volodymyr Zelensky at the G7 leaders’ meeting in France, not even greeting him. This was reported by the Swiss portal Schweiz heute.

According to the outlet, French President Emmanuel Macron invited Zelensky to the summit hoping that, following the U.S.-Iran agreement, it would be possible to establish contacts between Moscow and Kyiv. However, Trump did not greet the Ukrainian leader.

Journalists noted that the White House chief’s cold attitude toward Zelensky was obvious. Macron seated the two leaders on either side of him, but this time even that did not help ease the tension.

The G7 summit is taking place June 15–17 in France.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also commented on Zelensky’s appearance at the summit, remarking that he arrived in a “puny black dictator’s little suit.”
