On Friday, President Trump joined a virtual meeting involving leaders from the Group of Seven (G7) nations and representatives from the International Energy Agency (IEA). The meeting was convened to discuss international energy matters. While the other world leaders participating in the call were visible on screen, President Trump kept his camera disabled throughout the duration of the event.

The incident was brought to public attention by Fatih Birol, the executive director of the IEA, who shared details of the meeting on the social media platform X. The report confirms that the President was present for the discussion, though it does not provide an official explanation for why his video feed was not active. The meeting focused on global energy policy, but the technical aspect of the President's participation became a notable point of discussion following Birol's post.
