"France has reportedly postponed this year's G7 summit in the spa town of Evian-les-Bains in order not to conflict with US President Donald Trump's 80th birthday on June 14. The meeting of G7 leaders was originally scheduled for June 14-16. However, US magazine Politico reported that the event has been moved to June 15-17 in order to not disrupt the 47th US president's birthday celebrations."
"The US also marks Flag Day on June 14. The White House this year has plans to hold a mixed martial arts fight on the grounds of the White House for Trump's entertainment. Trump is close friends with Dana White, the CEO and president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The previous president in the White House, Joe Biden, also turned 80 while in office in 2022 but had instead choosen a more low-key celebration of coconut cake at brunch."
