For the other leaders of the Group of Seven nations, success was defined as avoiding a public fight with the U.S. president.<\/strong><\/p>

\u00c9VIAN-LES-BAINS, France \u2014 President Donald Trump had a simple explanation for the warm reception he received from Group of Seven leaders gathered in this Alpine resort town for a summit that, unlike several of its predecessors, ended without a dramatic schism, public feuds or his early departure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they think I was right. I\u2019m sort of always right, you know, when you get down to it,\u201d he said. \u201cThey think I was right. They feel good. Now all of a sudden they all want to be involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reality has been more complicated this week for leaders gathered in France. The members of the G-7 not named Trump have spent the past year absorbing the fallout from the U.S. president\u2019s tariffs, adjusting to the uncertainties of his foreign policy and managing the economic consequences of a conflict with Iran. Yet by the summit\u2019s end, many found themselves praising the same president for helping steer events away from a wider crisis.<\/p>\n

It is one of the week\u2019s central ironies: The same allies that have worked to build economic, diplomatic and military hedges against Trump\u2019s unpredictability found themselves applauding his role in restoring a measure of stability. For G-7 leaders, success was not necessarily defined by new initiatives or grand compromises \u2014 it was defined by the absence of rupture.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like hosting Thanksgiving dinner with some awkward relatives and a few awkward moments,\u201d said Max Bergmann, director of the Europe, Russia and Eurasia program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. \u201cThere\u2019s a different definition of success. Getting the president and getting the United States to just be, in some ways, normal and having this come across as a relatively routine summit \u2014 that\u2019s the win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump spent most of the week, and especially his closing news conference, touting his own success in bringing the Iran war to an end after more than 100 days. He said the declining cost of oil would affect inflationary pressures that have dogged a large portion of his presidency.<\/p>\n

\u201cOil prices are plummeting, and that means all prices are going to come down,\u201d he said. \u201cOil is the biggest thing.\u201d Later, he added that \u201cnow that the oil is coming down, you\u2019re going to see everything follow. Everything follows the cost of energy, and we\u2019re going to end up having the lowest energy anywhere in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump spent a good portion of the week soaking up praise from other leaders. Among the glowing words, a leaders\u2019 statement on geopolitics mentioned Trump three times, hailing the \u201chistoric\u201d agreement between the United States and Iran as having been secured under his \u201cstrong leadership.\u201d French President Emmanuel Macron, this year\u2019s G-7 host, praised \u201cthe excellent agreement concluded between the United States and Iran, obtained by President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

One hot-mic exchange captured the summit\u2019s underlying tension. As leaders gathered between sessions, European Council President Ant\u00f3nio Costa turned to Trump and remarked, \u201cWe are friends again.\u201d Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni quickly interjected: \u201cWe have always been friends.\u201d The exchange drew laughs, but it also hinted at the diplomatic balancing act that defined much of the week.<\/p>\n

Trump has never hidden his skepticism of \u2014 or even his disdain for \u2014 international summits. In 2018, he departed early from the G-7 summit in Quebec after a bitter clash with allies; he left the G-7 summit in Canada a day ahead of schedule last year, citing rising tensions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

This time, Macron gave him a gilded reason to stay.<\/p>\n

The French president sweetened the summit with the promise of a private dinner at Versailles before Trump returned to the United States, an irresistible blend of history, grandeur and personal attention at a palace Trump has long revered.<\/p>

\u201cI look forward to a very special dinner with President Macron and his fabulous wife at the Palace of Versailles,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThat palace has a lot of gold. I want to check it out. It\u2019s a beautiful palace, maybe the most beautiful of all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Macron\u2019s diplomatic overture appeared to work.<\/p>\n

Trump remained through the summit\u2019s closing curtain, smiled in the group photo, signed on to joint statements and, at least for the time being, projected the image of Western unity that European leaders had spent months trying to cultivate.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters Wednesday afternoon, Trump declared the G-7 summit a success, in no small part because of the deal he had struck with Iran, bolstering economies across the globe.<\/p>\n

Under the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran, Tehran would immediately take steps to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and would face no restrictions on its oil exports, according to leaked copies of the interim agreement.<\/p>\n

Iran \u201cwill never have a nuclear weapon. So that\u2019s very, very strong. It\u2019s a very strong deal,\u201d Trump said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people seem to be very happy. Who\u2019s really happy is the market, because the market\u2019s gone up thousands of points over the last four or five days since hearing about it, and the strait is going to be opening. It\u2019s already partially opened, it\u2019s going to be opening up soon in full over the next day or two, and the market has gone wild, and oil has come tumbling down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to travel to the region Friday to sign the memorandum of understanding. Yet even as the agreement took shape, Trump continued to pair diplomacy with threats, warning that military action could resume if Iran fails to comply.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I don\u2019t like it, if they don\u2019t behave, we\u2019ll go right back to dropping bombs right smack in the middle of their heads,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The comments served as a reminder that the uncertainty hanging over the summit has hardly disappeared. But for many leaders gathered in \u00c9vian, avoiding a new crisis was enough, observers said.<\/p>\n

Bergmann said the summit\u2019s significance may lie less in what it accomplished than in what it avoided. The gathering concluded without a rupture among allies, a wider war in the Middle East or a dramatic Trump departure \u2014 outcomes that might have been far from assured just weeks earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of these summits was not so leaders could get together and have a nice time in Versailles,\u201d Bergmann said. \u201cIt\u2019s about: \u2018How do we manage the global economy?\u2019 There wasn\u2019t some major new initiative coming out of this summit. But maintaining these relationships and these institutions matters. The whole purpose is to do it so you can do future summits with another president that will be substantive.\u201d<\/p>
