EVIAN-LES-BAINS — The G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains included discussions regarding the proposed acquisition of Greenland by the United States and issues concerning Chinese export subsidies. Conference microphones, installed for official discussions at the lakeside resort, recorded informal conversations among attending heads of state.

U.S. President Donald Trump arrived late to a meeting and said, "I'm the boss!" He later discussed Greenland during a conversation with European Council President António Costa. European politicians have expressed opposition to U.S. proposals to acquire Greenland, which is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark.

Separately, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz presented U.S. President Donald Trump with a German national team soccer jersey. The jersey featured the name Trump and the number 47. Mr. Trump held the jersey and smiled for photographs. Chancellor Merz posted a photograph of the exchange on social media and wrote, "After all, we’re on the same team."

During a lunch gathering, an unidentified attendee discussed the recent Champions League victory by Paris-Saint Germain. French President Emmanuel Macron departed a lunch session, leaving a watch behind. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said, "He’s left his watch here. We’ve got his watch." Mr. Trump responded, "Give me it if he left, gimme."

Mr. Macron provided personalized bicycles to his G7 counterparts. This gesture was made to promote the Cycling World Championships, which are scheduled to take place in the French Alps next year. Union Cycliste Internationale president David Lappartient announced the bicycle distribution on social media. Mr. Carney asked Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, "Do you have a patch?" after Chancellor Merz asked her if she had smoked a cigarette that morning. Ms. Meloni stated that she stopped using tobacco on May 1. Leaders from Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the European Union congratulated her on stopping tobacco use. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said of the event, "Quite remarkable, I have to say."
