STORYLINE:
French President Emmanuel Macron met local officials and security forces involved in the vast deployment of personnel across the French town of Evian-les-Bains ahead of a summit of the Group of Seven club of powerful democracies.

World leaders were set to gather in the French spa town Monday for the summit with a new impetus following President Donald Trump 's announcement of an agreement that he says will bring an end to the U.S. war against Iran.

Macron praised the "collective effort" of the security forces with more than 13,800 personnel set to be deployed around the summit venue.

Over 800 French border control officers were also active, up from about 60 normally, official said.

The G7 includes France, the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom. Guest nations at this summit include Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, South Korea, Qatar, Syria, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates.

In addition to Iran, the other leading issue will be Ukraine war that’s largely slipped down the White House’s list of top priorities.

Trump spoke to Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday.

At a morning session Tuesday, Zelenskyy will have the opportunity to showcase progress that Ukrainian forces are making against the Russian invasion.
