- Macron hailed US alignment with the G7's "shared commitment" on Ukraine at the summit in Évian, casting Washington and allies as on the same page.
- G7 leaders projected a united front on Russia, with Trump signaling a harder line on Moscow as the Ukraine war re-entered his focus with no resolution in sight.
Why it matters: The display of G7 unity on Russia — and Trump's apparent pivot toward a tougher stance — matters because the war remains unresolved with no end in sight. The headlines frame consensus without naming any new concrete commitments, leaving the practical gap between rhetoric and policy unresolved.
