G7 urges Iran de-escalation as Trump makes hasty summit exit ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

Trump, who was making his return to the international diplomatic calendar, departed the gathering in the Canadian Rockies a day early as ally Israel pounded Iran.

“Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“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,“ said the joint statement released by Canada.

The leaders of the club of industrial democracies -- Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States -- stated their conviction that Iran “can never have a nuclear weapon.”

At a group photo with fellow G7 leaders before the dinner, Trump said: “I have to be back as soon as I can. I wish I could stay for tomorrow, but they understand, this is big stuff.”

“There was an offer made for a meeting and an exchange,“ Macron told reporters.

He has repeatedly declined to say if the United States would participate in Israeli military action, although he has said Washington was not involved in initial strikes and the White House said that US forces remained in a defensive posture.

Trump earlier said that Iran would be “foolish” not to agree to a negotiated settlement.

The US president will miss a day of G7 meetings that was expected to include discussions with the leaders of Ukraine and Mexico.

Macron voiced objections to what increasingly appeared to be Israel’s goal -- toppling the clerical state that took power after the 1979 revolution toppled the pro-Western shah.

Iran, since Trump pulled out of an earlier nuclear deal in 2018, has ramped up uranium enrichment but not yet at levels to create an atomic bomb.

Tariff talks

Seeking to shatter a decades-old US-led global economic order, Trump has vowed sweeping tariffs on friends and foes alike although he has postponed implementation until July 9.

Trump has previously mocked host Canada, stating that the vast but less populated neighbor should become the 51st US state.

Trump had taken office seeking diplomacy both on Iran and Ukraine, which Russia invaded in 2022.

Trump said Monday that Putin was “very insulted” by Russia’s 2014 expulsion from the G8 and that if Russia were still a member, “you wouldn’t have a war right now.”
