Why now

The G7 summit provides a critical forum for discussing geopolitical strategies, and the upcoming US election with Trump's potential return is influencing European diplomatic approaches.

Second-order effects
Direct

European leaders will directly sound out Trump's potential policy on Russia-Ukraine peace talks at the G7.
