US President Donald Trump sparked online debate after reportedly arriving late to a G7 summit meeting and jokingly declaring, “I’m the boss,” during discussions on a proposed Iran agreement.
The remark drew laughter from fellow leaders as they gathered for the final day of talks at the Group of Seven summit.
What happened at the G7 meeting?
The incident occurred as leaders from the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom convened to discuss a range of global issues, including a proposed agreement aimed at limiting Iran’s nuclear ambitions and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Some users argued that Trump’s position justified the attention surrounding his arrival. “Well, he is the boss,” one commenter wrote.

G7 leaders back Iran agreement
The exchange came as G7 leaders expressed support for a tentative agreement between Washington and Tehran.
In a declaration cited by The Mirror US, the leaders described the deal as a “historic opportunity to prevent Iran from acquiring any nuclear weapon and tackling the threats related to its regional and ballistic activities.”
The declaration added that member nations were “ready to contribute to its implementation,” although neither the White House nor Iranian officials had publicly released the agreement’s text.
Trump later defended the proposed accord, saying: “Here’s what it says: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. It won’t have one to buy, to develop – it will not have a nuclear weapon. And I would say that’s about 99.9% of what I wanted.”
A major focus of the agreement is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s traded oil and natural gas passed before the conflict began.
Apart from the Iran agreement, G7 leaders discussed artificial intelligence, economic growth and concerns over global trade competition.
