EVIAN-LES-Bains, France (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump<\/span> is heading to the French Alps on Monday to meet with fellow world leaders at the Group of Seven summit<\/span> after announcing an agreement<\/span> that he says will bring an end to the U.S. and Israel\u2019s war against Iran.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump and Iranian officials had been saying for days they were making progress<\/span> toward reaching a deal<\/span>, but even on Sunday, things appeared to be on shaky ground after a new round of strikes between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

With the agreement, Trump is due to arrive in Evian-les-Bains on Monday afternoon with some wind at his back for talks with G7 leaders, including some who have been sharply critical<\/span> of his managing of the roughly 15-week conflict that has led to a surge in global energy prices. <\/p>\n

The conflict, which polls show American voters largely disapproved<\/span> of, had made some Republicans nervous about the political impacts it could have on the November midterm election.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShips of the World, start your engines,\u201d Trump said in a social media post celebrating the deal that he said would lead to the U.S. ending its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz<\/span>, through which about 20% of the world\u2019s crude had flowed before the conflict. \u201cLet the oil flow!\u201d<\/p>\n

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, however, said the Iranian closure of the strait would continue until the agreement is officially signed. <\/p>\n

Neither the White House nor Iran published the final agreement or revealed many details. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif<\/span>, whose country served as a mediator in the negotiations, said there would be \u201cpre-implementation discussions\u201d this week to lay the ground for 60 days of technical talks on Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n

The deal could change the G7 dynamic<\/h2>\n

Sealing an agreement before jetting off to the summit<\/span> could certainly change the dynamic of the gathering for Trump. He has had friction with French President Emmanuel Macron<\/span>, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer,<\/span> German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni<\/span> over failing to consult them before the decision to go to war.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Trump has pushed back on the four European leaders \u2014 all members of the NATO military alliance \u2014 for their lack of support for the U.S. in the conflict.<\/p>\n

Trump is expected to discuss with leaders the demining of the Strait of Hormuz<\/span>, according to the White House. Britain and France have expressed interest in assisting with the demining<\/span> 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.<\/p>\n
