WASHINGTON, June 13 (Reuters) - ⁠U.S. President Donald Trump will ⁠meet with Middle Eastern leaders and attend ‌a working session with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy during the G7 summit in France next week, ​senior U.S. administration officials ⁠said on Saturday.

Officials ⁠said Trump would meet separately with the leaders ⁠of ‌Egypt, Qatar, United Arab Emirate, France and India. No bilateral ⁠meeting was planned with Zelenskiy but ​the two ‌leaders could meet on the sidelines ⁠of the ​summit, they added.

He ⁠also planned to work on boosting resilience in the supply chain for critical minerals needed for advanced technologies.

Trump planned ​to attend a dinner ⁠at the palace of Versailles on Wednesday ​before returning to Washington, ‌the officials said.
