Trump leaves G7 summit early, splits emerge on Israel-Iran and trade

At the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, the first day was marked by disagreements, especially over the Israel-Iran conflict. U.S. President Donald Trump announced he would leave the summit early to return to Washington due to the escalating tensions. While European leaders hoped to reach a unified stance on the Middle East, Trump refused to sign a joint statement calling for de-escalation. Meanwhile, trade talks also took center stage. Trump discussed differing approaches to a trade-security deal with Canadian PM Mark Carney and finalized a separate trade deal with the UK to reduce tariffs. He also said removing Russia from the G8 was a mistake. The summit, shortened to two days, is focused on the global economy and energy security.
