Israel-Iran live: Trump says G7 exit nothing to do with Israel-Iran ceasefire - as he swipes at Macron
Israel and Iran have traded attacks for a fifth night, with explosions heard in Tehran and over Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has cut short his G7 visit over the crisis
Donald Trump has left the G7 summit early to address the Middle East crisis after warning “everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran”.
He spent much of the meeting in a minority of one, refusing to sign a joint statement on the Israel-Iran crisis, and indicating he would refuse to join other nations in tightening sanctions on Russia.
His Canadian hosts had gone out of their way to build an agenda – filled with Trump-friendly topics such as border security and critical minerals – that would avoid the sort of fireworks that accompanied his last G7 summit on their soil, when he left early in a fury.
