US President Donald Trump basks in what he says has been a very successful visit to France for a G7 summit.

“The trip was a great success but, mostly what people wanted to talk about, is the fact that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon, and that the Strait of Hormuz will immediately be opened!” he writes on Truth Social, claiming that the US economy is booming as a result.

He says he’ll be starting his press conference from France in 45 minutes before having dinner with European leaders and heading home.

He is currently participating in a bilateral meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
