Private conversations among G7 leaders at a recent summit in France were inadvertently captured on live microphones, offering a glimpse beyond official discussions. Topics ranged from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s success in quitting smoking – prompting congratulations from fellow leaders – to playful banter about the FIFA World Cup and a UFC fight hosted by former US President Donald Trump. Leaders discussed football teams, with one referencing the French national team’s chant and another mentioning Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League victory. Notably, Trump also made a cryptic reference to Greenland during a conversation with Portugal’s António Costa, repeating the island’s name and looking directly at him, sparking speculation given his past interest in potentially acquiring the territory from Denmark. The full context of this exchange remains unclear due to missing portions of the recording.
