Much was accomplished, but because of what's going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State. — Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) June 16, 2025 Trump confirmed his early departure at the end of a group photo with other G7 leaders before their working dinner. 'I have to be back, it's very important,' he told reporters. 'I want to just thank our great hosts, thank you to Canada, but you probably see what I see.' Prime minister Mark Carney said the leaders would do some more work over dinner. 'I'm very grateful for the president's presence and I fully understand why he must depart.' Unlike Trump's early departure at the last G7 summit hosted in Canada seven years ago, he did not storm out in a huff. 'We had just a really great relationship with everybody,' he said. 'It was really nice. I wish I could stay for tomorrow, but they understand this is big stuff.' In recent days, Israel and Iran have neared all-out war, with Israel assassinating a number of high-level Iranian officials and Iran responding with rocket attacks on Israel's cities.

Trump called for the evacuation of Iran's capital Tehran on Monday, hours after he urged the country's leadership to sign a deal to limit its nuclear program and Israel signalled strikes would continue. It wasn't clear if Trump knew of a fresh round of attacks Israel may have planned for the city, which has a population of more than 9 million people. Israel had earlier warned one Tehran neighbourhood to evacuate and video showed massive traffic jams as people sought to escape. Soon after Trump's post, Iran's Fars news agency reported several explosions east of the city. 'Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign,' Trump wrote in a social media post from a Group of Seven leaders' summit in Alberta, Canada. 'What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Earlier in the day, Trump had said Iran wanted to make a deal, and 'as soon as I leave here, we're going to be doing something.' He didn't provide any more details. French President Emmanuel Macron suggested that Trump's early departure from the G7 meeting could mean a positive development in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel. 'If the U.S. can obtain a ceasefire that is a good thing,' Macron told reporters in Alberta. Alex Pfeiffer, a White House spokesperson, denied claims on social media that the U.S. would join Israel in its military offensive against Iran. 'American forces are maintaining their defensive posture, and that has not changed,' he said in a post to X. While Trump and senior officials have stressed that the U.S. was not involved in Israel's attacks on Iran and have warned Tehran not to target American personnel or assets in the region, the administration has helped Israel defend itself from the missile and drone attacks.

Israel's strikes have seen the country assume control over much of Iranian air space and damage key nuclear sites, but experts have said the country lacks the firepower to destroy an underground nuclear facility at Fordow. — With additional reporting from Bloomberg and The Canadian Press Read More Our website is the place for the latest breaking news, exclusive scoops, longreads and provocative commentary.

The Latest: Trump says all of Tehran should evacuate ‘immediately'
U.S. President Donald Trump posted an ominous message on his social media site Monday calling for the immediate evacuation of Tehran but later denied reports he had rushed back to Washington to work on a ceasefire. Israel's air campaign on the Iranian capital appeared to broaden on the fourth day of an intensifying conflict after it issued warnings on Monday for about 300,000 people in Tehran to evacuate ahead of airstrikes. People were seen leaving the city Tuesday morning as shops and the historic Grand Bazaar were closed. Iranian authorities insist everything is under control and no guidance has been issued. Here's the latest: ___ People seen leaving Tehran As the sun rose Tuesday on Iran, the downtown area of Tehran, the country's capital, appeared to be beginning to empty out. Many shops in the capital stood closed. The city's ancient Grand Bazaar was closed, something that's rarely done, like during demonstrations or during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. On the roads out of Tehran to the west, traffic stood bumper to bumper. Many appeared to be heading to the Caspian Sea area, with local reports suggesting there were some diversions. Long lines also could be seen at gas stations operating in Tehran. Iran's capital, Tehran, is home to some 10 million people. That's roughly the same population for the entirety of Israel. It remained unclear how the city could be evacuated. Authorities within Iran's government continued to insist everything was under control and did not offer any guidance for the public on what to do. G7 leaders call for de-escalation but insist Iran must not get nukes Leaders of the Group of Seven countries meeting in Canada signed a joint statement calling for de-escalation of fighting between Israel and Iran while reaffirming that Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear bomb. The statement reads: 'We, the leaders of the G7, reiterate our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East. 'In this context, we affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel. Sundays Kevin Rollason's Sunday newsletter honouring and remembering lives well-lived in Manitoba. 'We also affirm the importance of the protection of civilians. 'Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. 'We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. 'We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza. 'We will remain vigilant to the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability.'
