Trump to attend dinner at Versailles post-G7

Source: Politico

06/13/2026 11:32 AM EDT


President Donald Trump will attend dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles on Wednesday, according to a senior Trump administration official.

The dinner will follow the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, where the president has scheduled a series of bilateral meetings, working sessions and discussions with allied leaders. Macron had earlier invited Trump to the one-on-one dinner to cap off the summit, but the White House, until now, hadn’t confirmed whether he would attend. The Élysée on Saturday also confirmed the dinner.

The invitation from Macron appeared to be an effort to appeal to the president’s taste for opulence and gilded interiors — as well as a bid to keep Trump in attendance for the summit’s entirety. European leaders hope to broach a number of subjects, including the war in Ukraine and the conflict in Iran. The president left last year’s summit early due to tensions with Iran.

Trump is scheduled to arrive in France on Monday. He will hold a bilateral meeting with Macron, followed by the official greeting and a working dinner. A senior administration official, granted anonymity to discuss the plans, said the president will address a number of issues of “shared importance” with allies, including “economic growth and development, supply chain resilience, illegal immigration, and artificial intelligence.”

No problem handling a particularly stupid one. Tantrums? Soak his pacifier in cognac.

What he won’t understand is how this over the top excess brought down the French monarchy. When I visited Versailles, I really understood why the French Revolution happened. Opulent doesn’t even begin to describe it. There’s a little farm area where Marie Antoinette would go to play peasant. There was a little farm, a mill, so charming and delightful.
But it is a cautionary tale. The aftermath of that revolution wasn’t all that great either.

Which will prompt the Donald to either fall asleep during the long meetings or leave early.

Take your pick. Canadian PM, Mark Carney, will join Macron in that humiliation!

to make Trump envious.

All the gilding of the Oval Office cannot compare to Versailles.
It's a not so subtle "my penis is bigger than yours" move.

He'll want to outdo Versailles. I'm sure he'll want the Big Beautiful Ballroom to look just like it, only with more gold.
