6/15/2026 11:00:17 PM
Kailey Leinz
Asks how European leaders will receive Trump at G7 with the MoU and whether he'll ask them to step up.
Rick Davis
Trump has a good case to ask for European ships in the Gulf; the deployment is well over norm and strain on service members is immense.
Kailey Leinz
Asks about Lindsey Graham's statement casting VP Vance as architect of the deal.
Rick Davis
Graham is trying to restore congressional power and also positioning for 2028; Vance has been less than enthusiastic negotiator.
Kailey Leinz
Asks if one-by-one leader photos at G7 is a sign of strife.
Rick Davis
Europe has figured out not to confront Trump; they're doing their own thing after last year's G7 fights.
