## Intelligence Brief
Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven industrialized nations are meeting in Paris on Monday and Tuesday, according to DW.com and France 24. The gathering brings together leading diplomats from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States, as reported by DW.com. AP News noted that the talks coincide with major protests across Europe, including in the French capital. DW.com stated that the meeting coincides with US-mediated talks between Moscow and Kyiv in Abu Dhabi. France 24 reported that these Abu Dhabi talks are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. AP News stated that the agenda also covers energy and artificial intelligence, and French Foreign Ministry details cited by AP News include sessions on AI and support for Ukraine alongside other global priorities. DW.com reported that European governments are concerned the US might push Ukraine toward a settlement favoring Russia with altered borders. US President Donald Trump told broadcaster CBS, as quoted by DW.com, \"I think we're gonna have it done, and I think it's gonna happen and they're gonna end up with a little bit different shape Ukraine.\" French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told RTL radio, according to DW.com, that \"Europeans will be represented and France will participate in these talks.\" DW.com and France 24 noted that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is attending both days of the Paris meeting, unlike a previous gathering where he came for only one. Rubio said in Florida, as reported by AP News, that \"There's been some advances made in what that architecture could look like post-conflict.\" AP News added that Rubio noted \"Nothing's been finalized yet, and maybe some progress can be made in Abu Dhabi.\" Regarding Iran, DW.com reported that the G7 ministers are expected to discuss US tensions and potential additional military strikes. Washington has previously considered targeting suspected nuclear facilities such as Pickaxe Mountain following the US midterm elections, while Tehran denies the location is a nuclear facility, according to DW.com. AP News reported that Rubio stated the sides are not \"at the verge of a breakthrough\" and that \"right now, it hasn't been very productive because the Iranian demands are simply not just unacceptable.\"
