US President Donald Trump made a surprising early exit from the Group of Seven summit as tensions between Iran and Israel escalated. The conflict arose after Israel launched an aerial bombardment campaign against Iran just days before the meeting in Canada, where world leaders had gathered to address global challenges.

During the summit, Trump stressed that Tehran must curb its nuclear program, warning it was almost 'too late.' Despite ongoing talks, no agreement on Iran's nuclear ambitions had been reached before the Israeli assault, Trump noted, emphasizing the need to make a deal.

As conflict loomed, Trump discouraged discussing US military involvement but warned on social media that Tehran should be evacuated. As he departed, Trump reiterated 'America First,' hinting at unilateral action over collaborative efforts with G7 nations, thus spotlighting the high stakes involved.
