Trump to leave G7 summit early to focus on Israel-Iran conflict, White House says

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt cited the Israel-Iran conflict in announcing Trump's plans to depart the Group of 7 summit in Canada a day early.
President Donald Trump arrived back in Washington early Tuesday after cutting short his attendance at the Group of Seven summit in Canada, citing the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote Monday on X that “because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State.”
“I have to be back as soon as I can,” Trump told reporters in response to a question Monday night about his plans to leave the summit at the Canadian Rocky Mountain resort of Kananaskis in Alberta.
“We’re gonna have dinner with these wonderful leaders and then I get on a plane. I have to be back early for obvious reasons.”
