The pool is now gathering for the Trump-Starmer bilat, which has now been opened up for a pool spray at the top.
On another note, during our hold, Stefan Kornelius, a spokesman for the German government, came by the media center and answered a few questions in English. Per co-pooler Geoff Earle:
-The Merz-Trump pull-aside included discussion of Ukraine and the Middle East
-On the potential for a joint statement on the Middle East: "The goal might be to have a joint declaration by the G7 here, because that would serve a purpose that would unfold some impact."
"We'll see in the end, it'll be up to the American side to decide whether we're going to have a G7 statement on the Middle East or not."
-On where the sticking points are among the G7 as a whole in those joint statement discussions: "I think it's in the end of the question of wording, and it has to serve all purposes."
