White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump was leaving for Washington “so he can attend to many important matters,” and in a follow-up post on X said the departure was due to “what’s going on in the Middle East.”
President Donald Trump is set to abruptly depart the Group of Seven leaders’ summit in Canada, hours after he took to social media to call for the evacuation of Iran’s capital Tehran.
Trump’s change of plans was announced about an hour after he urged Iran’s leadership to sign a deal to limit its nuclear program and Israel signaled strikes would continue.
