U.S. President Donald Trump is leaving the Group of Seven summit in Canada a day early due to the situation in the Middle East, the White House said on Monday.
Trump has requested that the national security council be prepared in the situation room, the co-host of Fox News' "FOX & Friends" program, Lawrence Jones, 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 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.
French President Emmanuel Macron said Trump's departure was positive, given the objective to get a ceasefire in the Middle East.
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.
Speaking alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney earlier, Trump said the former Group of Eight had been wrong to kick out Russia in 2014 after it annexed Crimea.
"This was a big mistake," Trump said, adding he believed Russia would not have invaded Ukraine in 2022 had Putin not been ejected.
"Putin speaks to me. He doesn't speak to anybody else ... he's not a happy person about it. I can tell you that he basically doesn't even speak to the people that threw him out, and I agree with him," Trump said.
Though Trump stopped short of saying Russia should be reinstated in the group, his comments had raised doubts about how much Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy can achieve when he is schedule to meet the leaders on Tuesday.
"It was a rough start," said Josh Lipsky, a former senior IMF official who now chairs the international economics department at the Atlantic Council.
European nations had wanted to persuade Trump to back tougher sanctions on Moscow.
Zelenskyy said he had planned to discuss new weapons purchases for Ukraine with Trump.
European officials said they hoped to use Tuesday's meeting with Zelenskyy and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and next week's NATO summit to convince Trump to toughen his stance.
In another early sign the group of democracies lacked unity, a U.S. official said Trump would not sign a draft statement calling for de-escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict.
Canada has abandoned any effort to adopt a comprehensive communique to avert a repeat of the 2018 summit in Quebec, when Trump instructed the U.S. delegation to withdraw its approval of the final communique after leaving.
Leaders have prepared several draft documents seen by Reuters, including on migration, artificial intelligence, and critical minerals. None of them have been approved by the United States, however, according to sources briefed on the documents.
Without Trump, it is unclear if there will be any declarations, a European diplomat said.
Carney invited non-G7 members Mexico, India, Australia, South Africa, South Korea and Brazil, as well as Ukraine.
TARIFFS
Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday they had finalized a trade deal reached between the two allies last month, making Britain the first country to agree to a deal for lower U.S. tariffs.
Carney said in a statement he had agreed with Trump that their two nations should try to wrap up a new economic and security deal within 30 days.
Trump said a new economic deal with host Canada was possible but stressed tariffs had to play a role, a position the Canadian government strongly opposes.
"Our position is that we should have no tariffs on Canadian exports to the United States," said Kirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador to Washington.
Talks on Monday centered around the economy, advancing trade deals, and China.
Several leaders arrived in Canada, a country Trump has repeatedly threatened to annex as the 51st U.S. state, in hopes of making progress on trade negotiations with the United States.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said he hoped there would be steps towards a solution to a tariff dispute with the United States, even if a solution itself could not be reached at the summit.

Blabbing about your personal relationships and feelings is not the hallmark of a mentally stable person, let alone the leader of the most powerful country on earth.

Trump is right yet again. It was a huge mistake. Instead of hearing Moscow's legitimate security concerns relating to unconstitutional events in 2014, Moscow was forced to act and place the Autonomous Republic of Crimea (which had just seceded from Kyiv) under its security umbrella. He is on the record as saying Moscow was provoked, which they were.
Not only was it wrong to exclude Russia from the G8, that decision ignored decent history as that historic Russian region is one in which everyone actually is Russian and speaks it too.
Moreover, the nasty policies towards Moscow provoked it to place the Donbass region under said security umbrella. As the special military operation unfolds, we will observe other regions that also fall into this category being marked on a map as such.
The bigger elephant in the room is this whole process artificially accelerated the collapse on the Unipolar-hegemon post-Cold War order and hastened the transition into a fair and decent Multipolar world, of which Great Power Russia has undoubtedly emerged stronger as a standard bearer on the world stage.

Moscow doesn't want back into the G7 moribund investment club and their inward and backward looking neo-colonialist regressive mindset and declining fortunes (look at the EU and the countries there).
The future is with BRICs and emerging nations. Russia saw this long ago. Thanks to the policies of that former cabal, Moscow has emerged bigger, more self-sufficient and resilient. It has acquired that decent peninsula, the south-east, millions of new citizens - along with the mineral wealth there - with future acquisitions all but locked in. On top of that, it has secured its western vital western flank and checkmated alliance expansionist aggression into Ukraine, of which it will never ever join.
Considering the balance of factors, leaving the G8 was arguably one of the best moves Moscow ever made. And it doesn't need a permission slip from that group to enhance national security on its border periphery.

Actually, appears to be more moaning and ranting about Trump correctly identifying the removal of Russia as a negative event for this investment club.
Read my post in their entirety - Moscow has no regrets about leaving, nor has it publicly (or privately) requested readmittance. It turned out the 'leaving G8' cloud has a silver lining. Indeed, there are many reasons to believe they would turn it down even if offered.

G-7's becoming irrelevant as currencies and financial assets writ large, have been devalued so much in last 5 yrs. None more than Japan, but European members too
Currencies now buy 3 to 5X less 'real' assets than 2020
Only countries with serious resources/commodities and world class technology actually matter, because these asset classes now dominate relative to financial assets.
Canada's effectively a 'state' of the US, 20% of its GDP is their trade activity with the US, as they have no real tech, defense and rely on the US for nearly everything.

What is likely to happen in weeks/months to follow if Iran remains 'intransigent' is Trump will announce to Iran to clear out all personnel from specific nuclear sites in Iran.
Shortly after, bunker buster missiles will be launched with tactical nukes to obliterate everything underground
Trump is leaving nothing to chance, so Iran can do it the easy way or the hard way, but either way it'll happen, as this has always been Trump's #1 global security issue.
Trump's none too happy about the Iranian backed assassination attempts, so now it's time to pay the piper.

Another angle for the earlier departure that's doing the rounds, is simply Trump didn't want the world's attention via open press to present him in a manner he didn't like.
This would have put him open to many questions. And the negotiations re Israel / Iran could easily have been done digitally and we are only talking another 24 hours.
Trump - understandably so - did the minimum necessary and then headed home to more favourable coverage.
In addition the Biggie up for discussion would have seen him as 1 vs the world, with plenty of negative shrapnel flying around to enrage the guy.
