Badlands Media Special Coverage: 6/15/26 - Trump & Macron Announce Iran Deal at G7
Description
President Trump joins French President Macron in Evian for the G7 summit, where the two leaders announce a signed peace deal with Iran that fully prohibits nuclear weapons under strong policing powers. The Strait of Hormuz is already partially open with mine clearing underway and full reopening expected by Friday. Trump contrasts the new deal with Obama's JCPOA, recalling the infamous 1.7 billion dollar cash transfer to Iran loaded onto a Boeing aircraft, calling it a road to a nuclear weapon rather than away from one. Oil prices are plummeting and the stock market is hitting record highs in response. Macron also previews G7 discussions on Ukraine, with Zelensky set to arrive the next day, and ties the summit's location to the 1783 Paris Treaty ahead of America's 250th anniversary. Trump closes by congratulating a French heavyweight boxer who won at a White House event the night before.
