Now we are six: G7 leaders try to salvage their summit after Trump's early exit
AP image Six of the Group of Seven leaders are trying on the final day of their Tuesday to show the wealthy nations' club still has the clout to shape world events despite the early departure of President Donald Trump. Prime Minister Mark Carney and his counterparts from the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Japan will be joined by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Nato chief Mark Rutte to discuss Russia's relentless war on its neighbour. World leaders had gathered in Canada with the specific goal of helping to defuse a series of pressure points, only to be disrupted by a showdown over Iran's nuclear program that could escalate in dangerous and uncontrollable ways. Israel launched an aerial bombardment campaign against Iran on Friday, and Iran has hit back with missiles and drones. Trump left the summit in the Canadian Rocky Mountain resort of Kananaskis a day early late Monday, saying: "I have to be back, very important." It came as conflict between Israel and Iran intensifies and the US leader declared that Tehran should be evacuated "immediately" - while also expressing optimism about a deal to stop the violence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 청담동 원장님이 말하는 "얼굴 기미" 해결하는 법 두아이연구원 Undo Before leaving, Trump joined the other leaders in issuing a statement saying Iran "can never have a nuclear weapon" and calling for a "de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza." Getting unanimity - even on a short and broadly worded statement - was a modest measure of success for the group. At the summit, Trump warned that Tehran needs to curb its nuclear program before it's "too late." He said Iranian leaders would "like to talk" but they had already had 60 days to reach an agreement on their nuclear ambitions and failed to do so before the Israeli aerial assault began. "They have to make a deal," he said. Asked what it would take for the US to get involved in the conflict militarily, Trump said Monday morning, "I don't want to talk about that." But by Monday afternoon, Trump warned ominously on social media, "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" Shortly after that, Trump decided to leave the summit and skip a series of Tuesday meetings that would address the war in Ukraine and trade issues. The sudden departure only heightened the drama of a world that seems on verge of several firestorms. Trump already has imposed severe tariffs on multiple nations that risk a global economic slowdown. There has been little progress on settling the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. Trump's stance on Ukraine puts him fundamentally at odds with the other G7 leaders, who back Ukraine and are clear that Russia is the aggressor in the war. The US president on Monday suggested there would have been no war if G7 members hadn't expelled Putin from the organisation in 2014 for annexing Crimea. Trump on Monday demurred when asked if he supported Russia, saying "I only care about saving lives." With talks on ending the war at an impasse, Starmer said Britain and other G7 members were slapping new tariffs on Russia in a bid to get it to the ceasefire negotiating table. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to attend the summit Tuesday at Carney's invitation, along with other leaders including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nato chief Mark Rutte. Trump declined to join in the sanctions on Russia, saying he would wait until Europe did so first. "When I sanction a country that costs the US a lot of money, a tremendous amount of money," he said. Trump had been scheduled before his departure to meet with Zelenskyy and with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. On the Middle East, Merz told reporters that Germany was planning to draw up a final communique proposal on the Israel-Iran conflict that will stress that "Iran must under no circumstances be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons-capable material." Trump also seemed to put a greater priority on addressing his grievances with other nations' trade policies than on collaboration with G7 allies. The US president has imposed 50% tariffs on steel and aluminium as well as 25% tariffs on autos. Trump is also charging a 10% tax on imports from most countries, though he could raise rates on July 9, after the 90-day negotiating period set by him would expire. He announced with Starmer that they had signed a trade framework Monday that was previously announced in May, with Trump saying that British trade was "very well protected' because "I like them, that's why. That's their ultimate protection."

Amid Iran-Israel tension, Donald Trump gets jersey signed by Cristiano Ronaldo: US President likes the message CR7 sent
Antonio Costa, the president of the European Council, gifted US President Donald Trump a signed Cristiano Ronaldo jersey.

One Trump admirer commented, 'Only Donald Trump would listen and build relationships with other world leaders!' Trump left the G7 summit a day early due to the growing conflict between Israel and Iran, according to the Associated Press. The two countries are hurling missiles against each other as the rest of the world asks for peace in the Middle East. Israel bombed the Tehran office of Iran's state broadcaster, claiming it was being used by the Iranian army. Iran called the attack a 'war crime' and hit back with missiles and drones targeting Tel Aviv and Haifa. According to Iran, 45 women and children were killed in Israeli strikes, and three Red Crescent workers died during rescue work. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian urged the country to stay united as attacks caused damage even in cities like Kermanshah, where a hospital was allegedly hit. Israel's army said it had destroyed one-third of Iran's missile launchers. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said he could even target Iran's Supreme Leader to 'end the conflict'. President Trump, speaking at the G7 summit, asked Iran to talk with Israel 'before it's too late'. 'We, as Iranian people, do not want to see any deal between Israel and the dictator regime of Iran! We want regime change! Mr. @realDonaldTrump, if you cannot help us, stay away and let Israel do its job, and we will finish the rest of that on the street. Best regards,' came from one user who reacted to Ronaldo's message of peace to Trump.

Israel-Iran Conflict: ‘Iran principal source of instability in Middle East' say G7 leaders; call for ceasefire in Gaza
Israel-Iran Conflict: The leaders of Group of Seven (G7) have described Iran as the 'principal source of regional instability and terror' as conflict rages in the Middle East. The conflict between Israel and Iran has been top of the agenda at the leaders' summit, being held in Canada. In a statement agreed at the summit, leaders of the world's major economies, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer, said they 'affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself'. The statement, agreed before US President Donald Trump left the conference early on Monday evening, also includes a call for a 'ceasefire in Gaza'. 'We, the leaders of the G7, reiterate our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East," it said. The Group of Seven (G7) is an informal grouping of the world's advanced economies - France, the US, the UK, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada and the European Union. Its members meet annually at the G7 Summit to discuss global economic and geopolitical issues. 'In this context, we affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel," the statement said, adding that the leaders affirmed 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," the statement said adding, '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." On June 16, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X that President Trump would be leaving the summit early, following a dinner with heads of state. Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. Iran said at least 224 people had been killed in the country since strikes began on Friday, while Israeli officials said 24 people had been killed and more than 500 injured. The back-and-forth between Israel and Iran has raised concerns about all-out war between the rival nations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 16 landed in Calgary, Canada to attend the G7 Summit at Kananaskis. This is PM Modi's first visit to Canada in a decade and will see his discussions with world leaders focused on crucial global issues, including energy security, technology and innovation. The summit is being keenly watched as it is being held against the backdrop of escalating Israel-Iran and Russia-Ukraine conflicts. Apart from Modi, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky will be among the guests at the summit in Kananaskis, Alberta.
