President Trump is cutting his time at the G7 summit short, leaving Monday night instead of Tuesday, to deal with escalating tensions in the Middle East. The White House framed his early exit positively, highlighting a new trade deal with the UK as a key achievement from the summit.

Editor’s Note: Trump’s early departure underscores how global crises can disrupt even high-profile diplomatic gatherings. While the White House is emphasizing the trade win, the move signals that Middle East instability is urgent enough to pull the president away from talks with other world leaders. It’s a reminder of how quickly foreign policy priorities can shift—and how summits aren’t always the main stage.
