**U.S. President departs early to address escalating conflict in the Middle East**
In a remarkable twist during the Group of Seven summit in Canada, U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly departed, citing the need to return to Washington to manage the intensifying conflict between Iran and Israel. The White House confirmed the president's early exit, stating it was due to the "situation in the Middle East." Trump also mentioned he had to be back for “big stuff,” suggesting imminent discussions related to the crisis.
The announcement coincided with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's revelation of additional military capabilities being deployed to the region as part of the Pentagon’s efforts to bolster its defensive posture. However, U.S. officials were quick to clarify that this did not imply an impending U.S. involvement in Israeli offensives against Iran.
Despite his prompt departure, the White House maintained that the summit was productive, highlighting a successful trade agreement between the U.S. and the U.K. Nonetheless, Trump’s early exit meant he would miss critical face-to-face meetings with leaders like Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum.
The tensions in the Middle East escalated, with reports of bombings and missile strikes exchanged by Israel and Iran for the fifth consecutive day. In response to Iran's military actions, Trump expressed through his social media platform that Iran should have accepted a previous U.S. deal and urged its citizens to evacuate Tehran.
As world leaders expressed understanding of Trump’s situation, the G7 summit itself was marked by divisions surrounding the Israel-Iran conflict as well as ongoing tensions related to Ukraine and Russia. Trump reportedly planned to resist the G7's consensus statement concerning the conflict that called for de-escalation.
Moreover, discussions related to tariffs saw success, with Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer signing agreements expected to shield the UK from future import taxes. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney also hinted at potential trade agreements with Trump, reflecting ongoing negotiations despite geopolitical strains.
As military hostilities between Iran and Israel continue, the outcomes of these international engagements remain uncertain, with implications for global security heights being monitored closely.
