Donald Trump faced heavy criticism after leaving the G7 summit in Canada a day early, giving what critics called a “psychopathic” explanation. The G7 leaders had gathered to discuss global issues, including escalating tensions in the Middle East.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump left after dinner due to the Middle East situation. Trump claimed he informed Canadian PM Mark Carney and said the other leaders understood his early departure, which meant he missed the G7’s joint statement calling for de-escalation and a ceasefire in Gaza.
Instead, Trump posted alarming messages on Truth Social, urging people in Tehran to evacuate amid Israel’s strikes on Iran. He also criticized French President Emmanuel Macron for wrongly claiming Trump left to work on a ceasefire, calling Macron “publicity-seeking” and saying it was “much bigger than that.”
Trump warned Iran should have accepted a deal he proposed, repeating that “IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.” Critics say his tone is “unhinged” and that his posts escalate tensions rather than ease them, raising questions about the US role in the Israel-Iran conflict.
