At a lakeside resort in the French Alps, Emmanuel Macron has assembled the world's wealthiest democracies around a table carefully designed not to collapse. The gathering in Évian-les-Bains arrives at a moment when three simultaneous wars, a slowing global economy, and the unpredictable presence of an eighty-year-old American president test whether multilateral diplomacy can still hold its shape. What is at stake is not merely a communiqué but the question of whether shared institutions can absorb the weight of divergent interests without fracturing entirely.
