Macron’s France Delays G7 Summit to Avoid Clash With Trump’s White House Birthday UFC Event
by Robert Semonsen Jan. 9, 2026
France, under the so-called ‘leadership’ of President Macron, has quietly shifted the dates of this year’s G7 summit, an annual meeting of leaders from the world’s leading Western economies to coordinate policy on global economic, security, and political issues.
Macron moved the summit to avoid conflicting with President Donald Trump’s June 14th White House UFC event, an extraordinary concession that highlights the growing sensitivity among European leaders—despite their rhetoric— to Trump’s gravitational pull on the world stage, even when that pull involves an octagon on the South Lawn.
The summit had originally been set to take place on June 14–16 in Evian-les-Bains, a lakeside town near the Swiss border long favored for elite diplomatic theater, bottled water aesthetics, and statements no one remembers a week later.
The date already coincided with the US Flag Day and Trump’s birthday, a symbolic inconvenience that became a logistical crisis. Last fall, Trump confirmed that the White House would host a UFC cage fight as part of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
European commentators initially dismissed the idea as Trumpian bravado—right up until UFC president Dana White confirmed that the logistics were finalized and the event was very much happening.
According to White, a close friend of Trump, up to 5,000 spectators will attend inside the White House grounds, with tens of thousands more expected nearby. Washington is preparing for days of celebration and controlled chaos—sports, music, spectacle, and unapologetic Americana—everything the G7 is not.
Faced with the prospect of a half-empty summit—or worse, a distracted American president checking fight cards between sessions—Paris quietly blinked. Thus, the G7 dates were shifted to June 15–17, a change now reflected in official documents, if not in French pride.
Macron’s office, unsurprisingly, has attempted to downplay the significance, insisting the rescheduling was simply the result of “consultations with G7 partners.” In diplomatic-speak, this amounts to: we lost this one, but please don’t say why out loud.
A White House official put it a little differently, noting that America’s partners viewed Trump’s attendance as essential and adjusted accordingly. In plain English: when Trump moves, the rest of the room slides their chairs.
For Macron, the episode is quietly but undoubtedly humiliating. The French president has spent years positioning himself as Europe’s philosopher-king, delivering lectures on global governance while presenting France as a moral counterweight to American national-conservatism and populism.
Yet when confronted with Trump’s unapologetic prioritization of national celebration over global liberal elite summits, Macron’s France did not protest but simply rescheduled. The ‘revolution,’ it turns out, can wait until after the main event.
Despite the fact Trump and Macron being ‘friends’ on paper, the contrast between the two leaders could not be any more stark. Trump is hosting a mass sporting spectacle at the seat of executive power, surrounded by cheering crowds and pop-cultural gravity. Macron, meanwhile, presides over meticulously choreographed press briefings and communiqués, along with a summit whose greatest challenge now appears to be basic calendar management.
This is not the first time Macron has had to adjust to Trump’s orbit. From NATO funding disputes to trade battles, Europe’s self-declared strategic autonomy has repeatedly yielded to the inconvenient reality of American leverage.
The symbolism hits hard. The G7—once marketed as the control room of the “rules-based international order”—was forced to step aside for a UFC fight.
The episode exposes the fragility and vacuousness of Macron’s liberal-globalist project. For all the rhetoric about multilateral leadership, Europe still revolves around Washington D.C., and increasingly around Trump himself.
It’s difficult to miss the irony. France once prided itself on resisting American cultural dominance. Now it is quietly rearranging the world’s most exclusive summit to avoid clashing with it.

How Long Before a Texan Steak Becomes a Halal Falafel Burger?
by Peter McIlvenna Jan. 9, 2026
The North America halal food market, encompassing the United States and Canada, was valued at USD 100.11 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 226 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.47% from 2025 to 2033.
This growth reflects a shift from niche demand to mainstream integration, influenced by immigration, higher birth rates among Muslim communities, and marketing that emphasizes health and humane aspects.
The global halal food market was valued at approximately USD 2.5 trillion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 6 trillion by 2034 at a CAGR of 9.1%.
In Texas, the halal food sector is growing rapidly, with reported annual increases of 22-25% in Houston and 20% in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This surge is fueled by a diverse Muslim population, including Somalis, Pakistanis, Iraqis, and Syrians, alongside rising awareness of ethical food production.
Estimates place the Texas Muslim population at approximately 420,000–500,000 as of recent legislative references, representing about 1.4–1.7% of the state’s residents. Hotspots include Houston’s Hillcroft Avenue, referred to as “halal central,” with over 200 halal restaurants and markets serving concentrated communities.
In Dallas-Fort Worth, suburbs like Plano, Richardson, Irving, and Carrollton have experienced significant changes, including halal meal accommodations in some public schools and prayer rooms. Texas hosts more than 330 mosques and Islamic centers, marking a substantial increase over two decades.
The U.S. Muslim population is estimated at 3.45–4.5 million currently, with Pew Research Center projections indicating growth to 8.1 million by 2050, or 2.1% of the total population.
U.S. legislation supports this through exemptions in the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act (HMSA of 1958, amended), requiring stunning before slaughter but exempting religious practices including halal and kosher. This permits slaughter without pre-stunning when consistent with religious dietary laws. Most states adopt similar federal exemptions, allowing ritual slaughter via carotid artery severance for rapid blood drainage. Poultry processing has explicit religious exemptions permitting operations without federal inspection under specified conditions.
For non-Muslims’ freedom of choice, halal labeling remains voluntary with no federal requirement, though false halal claims violate state fraud statutes. Products in retailers like Costco and Whole Foods may include halal meat without prominent disclosure or non-halal alternatives, raising concerns of unintentional consumption. Non-Muslims account for up to 40% of halal consumers due to perceived ethical advantages, though calls exist for mandatory non-halal options.
The halal process requires healthy, live animals. A Muslim slaughterer recites “Bismillah Allahu Akbar” while cutting the throat, windpipe, and blood vessels with a sharp knife for complete blood drainage. Most certifiers prohibit pre-stunning to maintain animal consciousness. Meat then undergoes processing, packaging, and distribution under halal protocols, preventing cross-contamination with non-halal products.
Certification is conducted by third-party organizations auditing operations. Major U.S. certifiers include:
USA Halal Chamber of Commerce (ISWA), permitting manual or mechanical slaughter for poultry.
American Halal Foundation, emphasizing avoidance of dead meat and proper rites.
Halal Transactions of Omaha, offering on-site monitoring and monthly audits.
Islamic Services of America (ISA), requiring Muslim slaughter personnel and full compliance.
Halal Monitoring Services, prioritizing hand-slaughter.
These entities oversee from slaughter to labeling, granting compliance certificates.
This expansion of halal food indicates a broader effort toward Islamic control, leveraging dietary laws to promote submission and societal restructuring. Via immigration-related demographics and accommodations such as school menus and zoning preferences, it creates parallel systems favoring religious requirements over secular standards, risking permanent cultural shifts.
