DUBLIN — The upcoming G7 summit could be well-timed to cement an emerging peace agreement on Iran — but only if the deal includes a ceasefire in Lebanon too, the leaders of Canada and Ireland stressed on Saturday. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, speaking at the start of a two-day visit to Ireland, looked ahead to his much more challenging next stop: the G7 summit in France alongside his frequent foil on the world stage, U.S. President Donald Trump. Standing beside Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin outside his central Dublin office, Carney said he was “encouraged by recent developments,” referring to the yo-yoing hopes of a potential U.S.-Iran agreement. Carney touted “the possibility of a more durable ceasing of hostilities,” and he described G7 host France’s planned inclusion of the leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates in an expanded summit format as “timely.” But Carney emphasized any credible deal would require “a broader cessation of hostilities, including in Lebanon.” Martin — whose government has been sharply critical of Israel, which shut its Irish embassy in protest — concurred, saying it would be “extremely important that Lebanon is included in the peace process. Lebanese sovereignty is absolutely essential.” Lebanon is of particular importance to Ireland, a non-NATO member, because the Irish contribute troops to the United Nations peacekeeping force in south Lebanon — and have lost 48 soldiers on duty there since 1978. Carney’s trip to Ireland seeks, in part, to promote his agenda of building Canadian cooperation with Europe as a counterbalance to the tension the country has experienced with its southern neighbor under the Trump administration. And Ireland is about to become a particularly influential ally, since it’s taking over the rotating presidency of the European Council on July 1 and will consequently be hosting scores of EU events over the coming six months. But his swing through Ireland also looks like a bid to build the political brand of Carney, a policy wonk and former central banker who’s been an elected lawmaker for barely a year. His family story will come into focus Sunday when he visits his ancestral home in a County Mayo village from which his paternal grandparents emigrated to Canada in 1925. For most of Saturday’s joint presser with Martin, a politician like Carney known for a demure disposition, both leaders seemed determined to avoid criticizing Trump — a global leader with a very different public persona — by not mentioning him. Neither of their speeches mentioned the United States, never mind Trump. And when the reporters’ questions inevitably focused on Trump’s role in international conflicts and apparent unreliability as a trading partner, Carney and Martin stumbled over themselves avoiding a direct  reply. Carney even acknowledged the verbal gymnastics, capping one lengthy response that didn’t mention Trump by conceding: “That is a very oblique answer.” Martin — whose own country is loath to draw Trump’s ire because it profits so handsomely from nearly 1,000 U.S. multinationals — softened his tacit criticism of the Trump administration with his only invocation of the T-word. “President Trump is democratically elected as president of the United States and I’ll always respect that,” Martin began, before cautioning: “We must always understand the limits of power.” Martin noted his own two most recent St. Patrick’s Day visits to the White House and observed that relations between any two countries can always improve — “once there’s mutual respect.”

U.S. President Donald Trump will attend dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles on Wednesday, according to a senior Trump administration official. The dinner will follow the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, where the president has scheduled a series of bilateral meetings, working sessions and discussions with allied leaders. Macron had earlier invited Trump to the one-on-one dinner to cap off the summit, but the White House, until now, hadn’t confirmed whether he would attend. The Élysée on Saturday also confirmed the dinner. The invitation from Macron appeared to be an effort to appeal to the president’s taste for opulence and gilded interiors — as well as a bid to keep Trump in attendance for the summit’s entirety. European leaders hope to broach a number of subjects, including the war in Ukraine and the conflict in Iran. The president left last year’s summit early due to tensions with Iran. Trump is scheduled to arrive in France on Monday. He will hold a bilateral meeting with Macron, followed by the official greeting and a working dinner. A senior administration official, granted anonymity to discuss the plans, said the president will address a number of issues of “shared importance” with allies, including “economic growth and development, supply chain resilience, illegal immigration, and artificial intelligence.” Tuesday’s schedule includes a working session with G7 leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. A second senior administration official said there is currently no plan for a bilateral with Zelenskyy — though the official added that the two could meet on the sidelines. The president on Tuesday will also have bilaterals with the Emir of Qatar, followed by the president of the United Arab Emirates. There will also be a working lunch with G7 leaders and leaders from the Middle East. On Wednesday, in addition to working sessions with G7 allies, Trump will have a bilateral with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, as well as another with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The leaders will also meet with G7 outreach partners and tech CEOs to discuss artificial intelligence. Giorgio Leali contributed to this report.
