Noting German Chancellor Merz presented Trump with a Germany World Cup jersey with Trump 47 on the back.
Sec. Rubio was seen entering the room and talking with Trump as we exited.
//President Trump walked in at 9:47am local, followed by Macron. He is greeting the leaders and just walked to take his seat.
Zelenskyy walked in at 9:48am.
Color from prior to Trump’s arrival:
The other G7 leaders talked animatedly in a circle for a long time often laughing.
Merz checked his watch at 9:33am local. The leaders quieted down and split into two groups Merz, Carney and Starmer in one circle and Meloni, von der Leyen, Costa and Takaichi in another. Takaichi eventually went and joined Merz, Starmer and Carney, where she remains. Takaichi has a translator with her. All of the rest of the leaders are unaccompanied.
Costa walked out of the room at 9:42am local and walked back in at 9:46am.
Von der Leyen and Meloni remained locked in an individual conversation for a while.
