G7 Summit: Meloni Quits Smoking, Trump References Greenland in Hot-Mic Moments

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni disclosed during the G7 Summit in France that she had stopped smoking a month ago, receiving congratulations from leaders of Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan and the European Union. The revelation came after Meloni mentioned needing "three coffees" to wake up, prompting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to ask if a cigarette was also necessary.

Other candid moments emerged from open microphones at the summit. US President Donald Trump was heard making a cryptic reference to "Greenland" during a conversation with European Council President António Costa. The remark sparked outrage among European politicians given Trump's previous threats to acquire the semi-autonomous Danish territory.

In a lighter moment, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney joked that French President Emmanuel Macron had left his watch behind, with Trump humorously requesting it.
