Donald Trump became restless.
He had just signed an order that was implemented with Great Britain last month, and Sir Keir Starrer, the British Prime Minister, was at his side in the bright sunshine of the Canadian rockies. But the spirit of the 79-year-old US President was exactly in the Middle East.
“As soon as I go, we will do something,” said Trump on Monday afternoon when we were asked about the war between Israel and Iran. “But I have to go here.”
A few hours later, Trump left the G7 summitSmall it down to a G6 in a theater exit that could mark a turning point in the conflict between Israel and Iran.
Until Tuesday morning, Trump was back in the White House and left the world to be divine whether he would start new discussions about his nuclear program with Iran or connect Israel in his strikes against the Islamic Republic.
The president was late Sunday in Kananaskis, Alberta, to expect two days with the closest allies – as well as other world leaders, including the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
The summit was held by Mark Carney, Canada’s Prime Minister Exclusion of Russia From the group. He later made it clear that the United States would not help with European countries to impose new sanctions on Moscow to urge Vladimir Putin to seriously negotiate with Ukraine about a peace agreement.
However, the friction over the conflict in Europe was under control through more urgent discussions about the war in the Middle East.
Carney corrected the G7 in a joint explanation in which “the solution to the Iranian crisis” was challenged, but later in the afternoon Trump blew Hawkische Social Media contributions that pointed out another escalation with the Islamic Republic.
In one he warned the Iranians that they should “evacuate immediately” Tehran, the capital of the country, a city with almost 10 million people.
Trump later said he left the G7 early to be “better familiar” in the Iranian crisis, and because his conversations were safer. “Being on site is much better and we did everything I had to do in the G7,” he said.
Nevertheless, there was unrest in his decision. The summit official said that the US President was warm during the discussions and took part in a dinner with the G7 leaders after announcing his departure.
The only exception came when Trump, Emmanuel Macron, President of France, publicly condemned because he said he was back to Washington to push in the Middle East after a “ceasefire”.
Trump said: “He has no idea why I’m on the way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a ceasefire. Much greater than that. Whether or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong.”
Three officials who took part in the G7 told the Financial Times that Macron’s decision to make a symbolic stopover in Greenland on the way to the summit, irritated Trump and contributed to his decision early.
During his visit to the semi-autonomous Danish island that the US President said that he wanted to bring control under Washington, Macron said about Trump’s threats: “I don’t think the allies do so.”
The White House did not answer Trump’s tensions with Macron when asked for comments.
But a British official said the President just tired the G7 and added: “He wanted to continue to do something productive – what was to be achieved in Calgary?”
However, the early departure has raised concerns that Trump could do the same thing next week at the NATO summit in the Haag, where many observe after signals that his administration could reduce their commitment to the alliance.
“Imagine that the impact in Moscow should leave Trump from the NATO summit,” said Stefano Stefanini, former ambassador in Italy in NATO.
After the surprising announcement that Trump would return to Washington to manage the conflict in the Middle East, the best administrative officials, including Pete Hegseth, the Minister of Defense, stated that America remained in a “defensive” attitude in the region.
Marco Rubio, the secretary for state and national security advisors, who was part of the US G7 delegation, withdrew calls with allies such as Kaja Kallas, the top foreign policy of the EU, Jean-Noël-Kartrot, the French Foreign Minister, and David Lammy, the British Foreign Minister.
Rubio is an Iranian falcon and will advise Trump next to Hegseth in his next step in the conflict.
The options with which Trump is confronted include one last diplomatic attempt: the president said he was still considering whether he was JD Vance, Vice President, and Steve Witkoff, his envoy of the Middle East, to send high -ranking Iranian officials.
During the overnight stay back to Washington from Canada, Trump would not be taken into account in America’s next step, but said that he was in “not much in the mood” for negotiations and searched for Iran to resign permanently.
What he wanted from Tehran, he said to Air Force One, is “a complete giving”. He also warned Iran not to attack American troops or facilities in the region.
“We will get down so hard that gloves would go out,” said Trump.
