President Donald Trump is heading to the French Alps to meet with fellow world leaders at the Group of Seven summit after announcing an agreement that he says will bring an end to the US war with Iran. The agreement, which was reached after weeks of negotiations, is expected to include sanctions relief and economic incentives for Tehran as it meets certain benchmarks aimed at assuaging White House concerns.

Details of the Agreement

Neither the White House nor Iran published the final agreement or revealed many details. However, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose country served as a mediator in the negotiations, said there would be ‘pre-implementation discussions’ this week to lay the ground for 60 days of technical talks on Iran’s nuclear program.

Trump is expected to discuss with leaders the demining of the Strait of Hormuz, according to the White House. Britain and France have expressed interest in assisting with the demining once the conflict is paused. Fear of potential mines is among the reasons that tanker traffic has come to a halt during the war, and quickly clearing them will be crucial to regaining the confidence of commercial vessels.

Reaction from World Leaders

French President Emmanuel Macron, this year’s summit host, invited the leaders of three nations that aren’t part of the G7 — Egypt, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates — to take part in a session on the Middle East on Tuesday where Iran is expected to be a central focus. ‘The aim will be to assess the implications of this agreement, support for Lebanon, the long-term reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, of course, reaching a deal on Iran’s nuclear and ballistic (missile) programs,’ Macron said in a video posted on social media on Sunday evening.
