US President Donald Trump is set to hold talks with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France this month, the Egyptian presidency has said.

In a statement, the presidency said Sisi is expected to hold a series of meetings with world leaders during the summit, “including a bilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump”.

It added that Sisi’s meetings would focus on “discussing ways to resolve international geopolitical crises and address their repercussions on trade, energy and supply chains”.

The G7 summit will be one of the first major international gatherings since the United States and Israel launched a war against Iran.
