Trump, Rubio leaves G7 early over Middle East tensions

US President Donald Trump left the G7 summit in Canada a day earlier than planned on Monday to deal with the Israel-Iran conflict, Reuters reports, citing the White House. 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is also heading back to Washington, a State Department spokesperson told CBS News.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Trump had made an offer for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

Trump had earlier urged everyone to immediately evacuate Tehran, and reiterated that Iran should have signed a nuclear deal with the United States.

"Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X.

The G7 has struggled to find unity over conflicts in Ukraine and between Israel and Iran as Trump overtly expressed support for Russian President Vladimir Putin and has imposed tariffs on many of the allies present.

Trump did agree to a group statement calling for de-escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict.

"We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza," the statement said.

The G7 expressed support for Israel, saying it has the right to defend itself and labeled its rival Iran as a source of instability in the Middle East.

Macron said Trump's departure was positive, given the objective to get a ceasefire.

"There is indeed an offer to meet and exchange. An offer was made especially to get a ceasefire and to then kick-start broader discussions," Macron told reporters.

"We have to see now whether the sides will follow."

G7 leaders from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the U.S., along with the European Union, had convened in the resort area of Kananaskis in the Canadian Rockies until Tuesday.
