Trump, ‘the G7 a great success’. And he defends the agreement with Iran
(by correspondent Tullio Giannotti)
At the G7, after years of conflicts, peace breaks out with Donald Trump. The Evian summit closes in the sign of renewed cooperation and a renewed common language, from Iran to Ukraine. “It was a great success”, assures the American president who, during an interminable press conference, vigorously defended the agreement with Iran, when it should already have been among the gold medals of Versailles. “We achieved all the objectives we set ourselves, and even beyond. Everyone is happy, no one told me ‘you were wrong, you should have continued bombing'”, claimed the tycoon, flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.
“This agreement, which is called the ‘Trump Agreement’, is fantastic,” he continues to repeat, puffing out his chest, because in Evian the big 7 are all with him. Indeed, they are awaiting the signing and opening of Hormuz to launch the European surveillance and demining mission in the Strait on which London and Paris are counting so much. Leaving behind the harsh tones of recent weeks, the tycoon, while not giving up a dig, then flattered his European allies: “They are our friends, even if they have done various things wrong, on energy, on immigration”. However, he returned to threaten Iran several times: “If they don’t respect the agreements we will start dropping bombs on their heads again.”
A concept already expressed in the morning and then reiterated in front of the international press: “We destroyed them, they would certainly have used nuclear weapons. They wanted me to destroy everything, their bridges and infrastructure. But in this way, with this new less radicalized leadership, we can talk about a change of regime”. Faced with journalists’ questions, the tycoon even loses patience for a moment. Almost all of the criticism comes from there, from the media that harshly criticize him at home, from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal, what he calls “fake” newspapers, as he shouted at an ABC News journalist who was about to ask him a question: “You are the worst”. To defend himself, he used the most tested arguments, such as that of the nuclear weapon that Tehran was on the verge of obtaining: “If I hadn’t put an end to all this – he thundered – Iran would have blown up the entire Middle East, including Israel”.
He then returned to targeting the agreement made by Obama with Tehran in 2015, which he had already torn up during his first mandate: “An agreement that would have given the Iranians legal access to the atomic bomb – he claims – Netanyahu begged Obama not to sign it, but he didn’t listen to him, making a horrible deal for the Jewish state”. The relationship with Israel came up several times in Trump’s words, praising his “great partnership” with Benyamin Netanyahu but not stopping to criticize him: “To be totally honest with Bibi, he sometimes gets a little carried away. If Israel sees a Hezbollah drone flying, it bombs buildings. It’s not a good thing.”
The tycoon instead thanked Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin for remaining “neutral” in the war with Iran, making “things much easier” for him. Full agreement also seems to have returned to the G7 allies on the Ukraine dossier, from the need to strengthen support for Kiev to that of increasing pressure on Moscow which is showing more and more signs of weakening. “The G7 has been revitalized”, exulted the French president Emmanuel Macron, who managed to obtain an almost unexpected result, with a unity of the big 7 that had not been seen for some time. Unity reflected in the final summit declaration. So much so that the head of the Elysée went so far as to speak of the “Evian moment”, to describe a turning point represented by what he defined as “a profound change in Donald Trump’s approach”.
