Diplomatic Exit: Rubio and Trump Depart Early from G7 Summit

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is cutting his participation short in the Group of Seven Summit, following President Donald Trump's decision to return to Washington earlier than planned, as reported by CBS News late Monday.

The departure arises from escalating tensions in the Middle East, where rising hostilities between U.S. ally Israel and Iran necessitate immediate diplomatic attention.

This sudden change in plans underscores the urgent and complex diplomatic challenges the U.S. faces in the region.
