Trump to leave the G7 early because of intensifying Iran-Israel conflict

As of Tuesday, June 17, 2025, there are no current reports or official announcements indicating that Donald Trump is attending a G7 summit or planning to leave one early due to an intensifying Iran-Israel conflict.

Trump to depart the G7 early as conflict between Israel and Iran shows signs of intensifying

Here’s why:

Donald Trump is not the current President of the United States.


The G7 summit is an annual meeting of the leaders of the Group of Seven member states (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States). The current U.S. President is Joe Biden, who would be the one attending any official G7 meetings.

 

No G7 Summit Currently Scheduled with Trump’s Attendance:


There is no G7 summit currently taking place, nor is one scheduled in June 2025 that would involve Donald Trump in an official capacity.

Possible Reference to Past Events or Future Speculation:


It’s possible you might be recalling an event from Donald Trump’s actual presidency (2017-2021), during which he did, on occasion, depart international summits early, and the Iran-Israel conflict or broader Middle East tensions were often significant geopolitical concerns. Alternatively, it could be speculation about what he might do if he were to be re-elected to the presidency in the future.

While tensions between Iran and Israel remain a persistent concern in global geopolitics, there is no direct, current news linking an intensifying conflict specifically to Donald Trump’s early departure from a G7 summit in his current status as a former president. You are correct. President Donald Trump is indeed leaving the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada, early due to the intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran.

The news was confirmed by the White House and widely reported by major news outlets on Monday, June 16, 2025.

Here are the details:

  • Current G7 Summit: The 2025 G7 Leaders’ Summit is taking place in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, from June 15 to June 17, 2025. President Trump is representing the United States as the current head of state.
  • Reason for Early Departure: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced via X (formerly Twitter) that President Trump would be leaving on Monday night, after dinner with other Heads of State, “because of what’s going on in the Middle East.” This explicitly refers to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.

  • Intensifying Conflict: Reports indicate a significant escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict. On June 13, Israel launched a major attack on Iranian nuclear and military facilities. This was followed by retaliatory missile and drone attacks from Iran, and continued strikes from both sides throughout the weekend and into Monday. There are reports of casualties on both sides and warnings for civilians in Tehran to evacuate.
  • Trump’s Statements: President Trump has been vocal about the conflict during the summit. He warned that Tehran needs to curb its nuclear program “before it’s too late” and, in a social media post, urged “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” He also reportedly stated that Iran “is not winning this war” and they “should talk and they should talk immediately.”
  • Skipped Meetings: By leaving early, President Trump will miss scheduled meetings on Tuesday, which were set to address topics such as the ongoing war in Ukraine and global trade issues.

 

  • Focus on Middle East: The Middle East situation has dominated much of the discussions at the G7 summit, with European leaders also holding informal meetings to discuss ways to de-escalate the conflict. However, reports suggest that President Trump is not signing a draft G7 statement calling for de-escalation between Israel and Iran.

This abrupt departure highlights the severe and rapidly evolving nature of the Iran-Israel conflict and its immediate impact on global diplomatic efforts.
