Donald Trump appeared to backtrack on his "I am the boss" comments on the last day of the G7 summit in France. Speaking to an Axios correspondent, the US President elaborated on what he meant, he then went on to praise his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Trump's comments came as USA faced criticism for its Memorandum of Understanding to end the war with Iran. Under that agreement, Washington has reportedly promised around 300 billion dollars to Iran in war-related reparations and relief, and has formally “reopened” the Strait of Hormuz – a chokepoint that was open before the US itself launched its war.
