South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s widely anticipated meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the G7 summit failed to materialize, despite earlier diplomatic signals suggesting the two leaders were set for face-to-face talks on the sidelines of the high-profile gathering.

The summit ended on Tuesday in Canada. Six of the Group of Seven leaders discussed Russia's war in Ukraine and the Israel-Iran conflict but failed to reach major agreements on those and many other top issues,

The President said he would also have meetings with the chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, and the prime minister of Canada, Mark Carney.
