Trump Leaves G7 Amid Israel-Iran Escalation

President Donald Trump left the G7 summit in Canada early, citing urgent Middle East developments amid escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran. Trump publicly denied leaving to work on an Israel-Iran ceasefire and described his reason as 'much bigger.' Following Israeli strikes on Iranian infrastructure and Iranian retaliatory attacks, which resulted in hundreds of civilian casualties in both countries, Trump issued a social media warning urging immediate evacuation of Tehran. G7 leaders condemned Iran for regional instability, affirmed Israel's right to self-defense, and called for de-escalation and civilian protection, expressing concern about impacts on global energy markets. The U.S. reiterated its stance that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons. Trump's early departure caused him to miss scheduled meetings, including with Ukraine's President Zelensky.
