Boris and Carrie Johnson were all smiles today as they formally greeted G7 leaders on the golden sands of Carbis Bay.
The PM and his new wife, wearing a vivid fuchsia dress, welcomed the guests to the official start of the summit one by one on a beachfront board walk.
G7 summit: Why does it matter?
Do summits like this matter? „Occasionally!“ comes the answer from a former government insider who worked for years at the very top.
They warn that global get-togethers – however glamorous the location, however acute any particular political emergency, however good the freebies for the thousands of attendees – can descend into ‚waffelage‘.

Scoop: Netanyahu tried to reach Trump to block Zarif meeting

‚The EU wants a deal – they want this over‘: Boris Johnson says Brussels DOES want to reach a Brexit agreement but insists he is prepared for negotiations to run until the eleventh hour on October 31
– Boris Johnson said EU does ‚tend to come to an agreement right at end‘ of talks

Gipfel-Gastgeber Frankreich: Macron hat seine Wette gewonnen
Sogar die größte Gefahr für das Gelingen dieses Gipfels – US-Präsident Donald Trump und seine ständig scharf geladene Twitter-Kanone – hatte Macron in einem ausgedehnten gemeinsamen Mittagessen nahezu entschärft. Den Handelskrieg mit China will Trump zwar beinhart weiterführen. Aber wer vor dem Gipfel behauptet hätte, dass es in Biarritz große Fortschritte im Atomstreit mit dem Iran geben würde, wie es die Kanzlerin nun am Ende des Gipfels feststellte, der wäre vermutlich für unzurechnungsfähig erklärt worden.
Macron shook up the G7 with his fancy diplomatic footwork
Shortly before Zarif’s arrival Trump denied he’d backed Macron to negotiate with Iran on behalf of the G7, with Trump’s aides saying Zarif’s visit was a „curveball.“
By early Monday, Trump was reversing course and playing along with Macron’s secretive diplomacy. He said he not only knew Zarif was coming, he authorized Macron to invite him.

Rule 1 at the G7 Meeting? Don’t Get You-Know-Who Mad
No one can say how the remainder of the meetings will go, or what will happen after he leaves. But everyone seemed determined to avoid the sort of blowup that marred last year’s Group of 7 meeting in Canada, when a stormy Mr. Trump refused to sign the final communiqué and lashed out at the host, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“Thus far, this has been really a great G-7,” Mr. Trump gushed on Sunday, “and I want to congratulate France and your president because they have really done a great job.”

Macron sparks confusion after inviting Iran’s foreign minister to G7 summit
When Iran’s Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif, landed in Biarritz Sunday afternoon it appeared France’s Emmanuel Macron, this year’s G7 host, had pulled off an end run around his most powerful guest, US President Donald Trump.

Iranian official Javad Zarif arrives unexpectedly at G7 amid tensions. Trump’s response? ‚No comment‘
Iran’s move comes as the other countries that signed on to a nuclear agreement with Iran, including France, are seeking to keep that deal in place after Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Obama-era agreement.
EU leaders try to ‚intimidate‘ Boris Johnson with their body language at the G7… but ’naughty schoolboy‘ PM is having none of it

– Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron and Donald Tusk sought presented an air of ‚intimidation‘, Judi James said
– The body language expert told MailOnline Britain’s representative Boris Johnson had an ‚air of happy oblivion‘

Der Gipfel der Ungewissheit
Der G7-Gipfel soll kein Flop werden – das ist oberstes Ziel des französischen Präsidenten und Gastgebers Emmanuel Macron. Ein Drahtseilakt.

Japan, U.S. negotiators fail to reach agreement on trade
Thursday’s talks followed a five and a half hour meeting on Wednesday, suggesting negotiators were making last-minute efforts to reach some agreement when Japanese and U.S. leaders meet on the sidelines of a weekend Group of Seven summit in France.
Motegi said he will fly straight to France and may join the meeting between Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. President Donald Trump, where the two will likely discuss trade among other topics.
Die „Option Ruanda“
Auf die Frage, was Präsident Kagame motiviere, Flüchtlinge aus Libyen nach Ruanda zu holen, ist regelmäßig zu hören, er erwarte von der EU finanzielle wie auch politische Gegenleistungen.[14] Tatsächlich wird Ruanda, eine frühere deutsche Kolonie, seit je von Berlin unterstützt – vor allem über das Entwicklungsministerium. Erst in der vergangenen Woche ist Entwicklungsminister Gerd Müller in Kigali gewesen und hat dort bekanntgegeben, Berlin werde Kigali noch mehr als bisher fördern – unter anderem mit einer Ausbildungsinitiative sowie mit Investitionen in Energie und die digitale Infrastruktur.
Die-hard Remainer Philip Hammond’s camp is blamed for leaking Project Fear 2.0 dossier as its predictions of No Deal Brexit chaos on October 31 are dismissed as ’not believable‘ and ’scaremongering‘
Former Tory former cabinet ministers Iain Duncan Smith and Owen Paterson claimed the leak of documents on ‚Operation Yellowhammer‘ was an example of the ‚establishment‘ plot to ’sow fear in people’s minds‘.
In a joint statement, they said: ‚This Operation Yellowhammer leak is the version of what the contingency executive put together. We remember attending a briefing on privy council terms which they said was not worst case but reasonable worst case. Theresa May had asked for this to be done. It was obviously Project Fear dressed up.

Cripes! Boris’s Brexit script is left in a pub by a ‘drunk’ official revealing the PM is primed to tackle ‘tricky’ topics of Northern Ireland, citizens’ rights and no deal
And thanks to a boozy civil servant leaving a stash of Brexit papers in a Westminster pub, The Mail on Sunday can reveal the full extent of Mr Johnson’s rigid new regime.
An eight-page document entitled ‘Core Brexit Brief’ and prepared specifically for Mr Johnson by Whitehall spin doctors and policy advisers was found abandoned in The Feathers public house, in the heart of Westminster.
Gefechte vor Tripolis – G7-Staaten warnen General Haftar vor Eskalation in Libyen
(6.4.2019) Es sei gut, dass der UNO-Sicherheitsrat ein klares Signal gegeben habe, «dass Schluss sein muss mit der militärischen Eskalation», sagte der deutsche Aussenminister Heiko Maas am Samstag am Rande des Treffens im bretonischen Küstenort Dinard.

The Fake News Media said that I did not get along with other Leaders at the #G7Summit in Canada. They are once again, WRONG!
I have a great relationship with Angela Merkel of Germany, but the Fake News Media only shows the bad photos (implying anger) of negotiating an agreement – where I am asking for things that no other American President would ask for!

Trump to leave G7 early, tensions high after ‚rant‘ over trade
“And so began a long litany of recriminations, somewhat bitter reports that the United States was treated unfairly, that the trading system was totally unfavorable to the United States, the American economy, American workers, the middle class,” the official said.
“In short, a long, frank rant which is undoubtedly very unusual in this kind of formats,” the official added.
Die Weltstellung der EU
Noch ein wenig deutlicher als die Kanzlerin hat den deutsch-europäischen Machtanspruch bereits im vergangenen Jahr der damalige Außenminister Sigmar Gabriel formuliert. Gabriel erklärte einige Wochen nach dem Amtsantritt von US-Präsident Donald Trump, die Vereinigten Staaten könnten „nicht die Führungmacht bleiben“; die EU wiederum dürfe deshalb „eine Partnerschaft auf Augenhöhe“ beanspruchen.[8] Gabriel hat diese Forderung in leicht abgewandelten Formulierungen mehrmals wiederholt.
