U.S. President Donald Trump's abrupt exit from the G7 summit underscores the increasing urgency surrounding the conflict between Israel and Iran. Trump left after Monday's dinner to deal with the escalating tensions, stating he accomplished much during his brief time. His departure means missing discussions with non-G7 leaders such as India's Prime Minister Modi and Ukraine's President Zelenskyy. The remaining G7 leaders released a statement calling for de-escalation in the Middle East, affirming both support for Israel's self-defense and the need for diplomacy.
"I have to be back early. I loved it. I tell you I loved it. And I think we got a lot done... I wish I could stay for tomorrow but they understand, this is big stuff."
G7 leaders released a joint statement late that same night calling for a "de-escalation" of hostilities in the Middle East.
