The G7 leaders got off to a late start on Wednesday, the final day of the summit, with President Trump the last one to join their morning session on the economy.
Trump was the last leader in the room and, in fact, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was seated at the American place at the table. Trump walked up and joked, “I’m the boss,” before replacing Bessent in the seat.
French President Emmanuel Macron tried to start the meeting, but Trump interrupted, inviting members of the media to stay.
“Would you like to stay for the meeting? It’s ok with me,” he said, but French officials promptly escorted the press out.
As the press were leaving, Trump could be heard saying: “It’s too hot in here.”
The president made several posts on Truth Social on Wednesday morning during the time the session was supposed to start.
