Trump Says G-7 Exit for ‘Much Bigger' Reason Than Ceasefire
US President Donald Trump said his early departure from the Group of Seven leaders meeting in Canada has 'nothing to do' with working on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, instead saying his reason is 'much bigger than that.'
'Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a 'cease fire' between Israel and Iran. Wrong!' Trump wrote in a Truth Social post sent at 1:15 a.m. Washington time on Tuesday, shortly after boarding Air Force One for a flight to the US capital.

Live updates: Fate of Trump's legislation unclear, with Senate at odds with House on key provisions
The fate of President Donald Trump's massive tax and immigration legislation is unclear after the Senate announced key changes Monday to the bill that narrowly passed the House, including on tax credits and Biden-era climate programs. Republicans have set a self-imposed July 4 deadline to get the bill to Trump's desk. A new poll shows a plurality of Americans oppose the legislation. Trump returned to the White House on Tuesday morning after flying overnight from the Group of Seven summit in Canada to deal more directly with the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. As Senate Republicans race to pass President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a plurality of Americans oppose the sweeping tax-and-spending legislation, with mixed opinions on specific provisions and concerns about its impact on the national debt and Medicaid, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll conducted this month. President Donald Trump left the Group of Seven summit early, flying overnight from Canada to return to the White House and deal more directly with the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. He had been scheduled to meet Tuesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum but told reporters he needed to be at the White House to address the conflict. The NAACP will not invite President Donald Trump to its national convention this year — the first time in the civil rights organization's 116-year history that it has excluded a sitting president — citing what it described as his attacks on American democracy. Senate Republicans on Monday suggested massive changes to President Donald Trump's second-term legislative agenda, setting up a potential brawl with the GOP-controlled House by slashing the child tax credit and state and local tax deductions while temporarily preserving some Biden-era climate programs. The Department of Homeland Security told staff Monday that it was reversing guidance issued last week against conducting immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants — guidance that stood at odds with President Donald Trump's calls for mass deportations of anyone without legal status.

Sobering footage shows massive traffic jam as thousands frantically flee Tehran — with Trump issuing ominous warning: ‘You're going to find out'
Sobering footage has captured a massive traffic jam as thousands frantically tried to flee Tehran — with President Trump ominously warning that Israel wouldn't be slowing its attacks on Iran any time soon. The president urged 'everyone to evacuate' the Iranian city late Monday as Israel appeared to be expanding its air assault five days after launching its surprise attack on Iran's military and nuclear program. He predicted, too, that Israel was showing no signs of relenting.

'You're going to find out. Nobody's slowed up so far.' Advertisement The grim warning came as aerial footage emerged of the scores of vehicles lining up bumper-to-bumper on the highway in Tehran as citizens headed north in search of safety. The lines of headlights could be seen snaking throughout the city at some point after Israel started pummeling Iran with the airstrikes on Friday. Meanwhile, Trump doubled down and said he wanted a 'real end' to the nuclear problem with Iran, declaring: 'Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, it's very simple.' 3 President Donald Trump speaks to reporters about the G7 Summit aboard Air Force One while traveling back to Washington from Canada on June 16, 2025.

Separately, Trump has said Washington was working on helping Americans who were trying to flee the region, adding: 'We're working on that, we're doing the best we can.' While Washington has said Trump was still aiming for a nuclear deal with Iran, the commander-in-chief insisted he wasn't looking for a ceasefire. 3 This handout picture released by the Iranian Red Crescent on June 17, 2025 shows members of their rescue teams searching the debris inside a buidling in Tehran, targeted by Israeli strikes.

'If they want to talk, they know how to reach me. They should have taken the deal that was on the table – Would have saved a lot of lives,' Trump said in a Truth Social post about Iran. Israel has said its sweeping assault on Iran's top military leaders, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment sites and ballistic missile program is necessary to prevent its longtime adversary from getting any closer to building an atomic weapon. Tehran denies seeking nuclear weapons and has said it has the right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. With Post wires
