The brief

Hot microphones at the G7 summit have recorded private interactions between world leaders occurring between formal discussions. These captures include Donald Trump saying the word 'Greenland' to a top EU official and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announcing she has quit smoking.

Coverage from The New York Times, AP News, Fortune, and The Independent emphasizes the contrast between these candid chats and the summit's weighty topics. The New York Times specifically highlights moments involving Greenland, smoking, and the phrase 'Friends Again.' Further reporting may clarify the context of the 'Greenland' comment and the 'Friends Again' exchange as more details from the G7 recordings emerge.
