DUBLIN — The upcoming G7 summit could be well-timed to cement an emerging peace agreement on Iran — but only if the deal includes a ceasefire in Lebanon too, the leaders of Canada and Ireland stressed on Saturday.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, speaking at the start of a two-day visit to Ireland, looked ahead to his much more challenging next stop: the G7 summit in France alongside his frequent foil on the world stage, U.S. President Donald Trump.

Standing beside Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin outside his central Dublin office, Carney said he was “encouraged by recent developments,” referring to the yo-yoing hopes of a potential U.S.-Iran agreement.
