US President Donald Trump leaves the G7 summit in Canada amid the escalating war between Israel and Iran, warning Tehran’s residents to evacuate and hinting at imminent US action.
US President Donald Trump abruptly cut short his attendance at the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Canada on Monday, citing the escalating Israeli war on Iran as the reason for his early return to Washington. The move came just hours after Trump issued a stark warning to residents of the Iranian capital, calling for an immediate evacuation.
“Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” the US President wrote on his Truth Social platform.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later confirmed on X that Trump would depart the summit after dinner with fellow heads of state, citing developments in the Middle East.
“Because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight,” she said.
Additionally, Trump requested that the National Security Council staff wait for him in the White House Situation Room.
Trump rhetoric on Iran hints at escalation
Trump’s early departure means he will miss the final day of high-level meetings at the Kananaskis resort in the Canadian Rockies, including scheduled sessions with the leaders of Ukraine and Mexico.
Speaking to reporters before the announcement, Trump hinted at looming decisions. “As soon as I leave here, we’re going to be doing something. But I have to leave here,” he said, without providing further details. Although he has maintained that the US was not involved in the initial Israeli strikes on Iran, his rhetoric in recent days suggests a shift toward more direct engagement.
Despite expressing support for a negotiated resolution, Trump has repeatedly praised Israeli military actions.
“It’s painful for both parties, but I’d say Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk, and they should talk immediately, before it’s too late,” he said during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
White House denies involvement in Israeli attacks
Soon after Trump announced his decision to leave the G7 summit early, White House spokesperson Alex Pfeiffer said that US forces in the Middle East “remain in a defensive posture,” and that has not changed.
