Chapter 1: What updates did President Trump and President Macron discuss during the G7 meeting?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump met with French President Macron in front of the press on the first day of the G7 today. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports they spoke about the wars in Iran and Ukraine.
President Macron said the Europeans are ready to help ensure the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and could deploy frigates within days.

Newsom says in a video posted online that federal agents in recent days have knocked on the doors of his friends and former employees and have asked for records.
