President Donald Trump has sparked debate online after a viral video from the G7 Summit appeared to show him briefly walking away from fellow world leaders during a group photo.
The summit, held in Évian-les-Bains, brought together leaders from the world’s major economies to discuss issues including Iran and Ukraine. Attendees included French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
In the clip, Trump appears to step away from the group before being guided back into position. The moment quickly went viral, with critics claiming it looked awkward or confusing. Supporters pushed back, arguing the footage was being taken out of context.
While social media focused on the brief incident, G7 leaders were primarily discussing international security and the Middle East. The group released a statement supporting efforts to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and described recent diplomatic progress as a significant opportunity for regional stability.
Despite the summit’s major policy discussions, it was the short photo-op moment that generated some of the biggest online reactions.
