Live updates: Trump departs G-7 summit early to deal with Israel-Iran conflict, White House says
President Donald Trump departed the Group of Seven summit in Canada earlier than planned 'because of what's going on in the Middle East,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, without providing further details. He signed a joint statement along with all other G-7 leaders calling for a resolution to the crisis that would involve 'a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.' He initially declined to sign but reversed position after changes to an initial draft, according to a U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the sensitive conversations. Before the statement was released, Trump on social media said that Iran should have made a deal with the United States regarding its nuclear program, and added, 'Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!' Israel carried out strikes in Iran on Monday, including hitting a state television studio during a live broadcast, and Iran sent multiple waves of missile barrages at Israel overnight. Search and rescue teams were dispatched to several locations where there were reports that projectiles landed after an Iranian missile barrage Tuesday morning, the Israel Defense Forces said. The Israeli military previously said it struck dozens of targets in western Iran overnight, while Israel's air force said it intercepted about 30 drones overnight. BANFF, Alberta — President Donald Trump left the Group of Seven summit a day early to attend to the conflict between Israel and Iran, the White House announced Monday, after he called for 'a broader de-escalation of hostilities' in the Middle East in a statement with other global leaders.
