A series of misleading statements and videos has spread on social media in the wake of the G7 summit in Evian, France. Leaders from the Group of 7 countries, in addition to the EU and other invitee states, gathered there to discuss global geopolitical challenges such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as the world economy.
Many of the claims centre on US President Donald Trump's interactions with European leaders, and what they've said about him. The Cube, Euronews' fact-checking team, took a look at some of the more viral claims doing the rounds.
According to one post, Trump allegedly said at the summit that "Europe has gone woke" and that it's not recognisable in many places, although Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia have gone the opposite way.
The post shares a clip of the president indeed saying those things, but you can tell that he did not say them at the G7 because of the White House signage in the background.
The clip actually comes from a press conference he gave in February, in which the US president criticised the continent's energy and immigration policies.
