Trump leaves G-7 summit: Chaos in the Middle East forces to return!

Teheran, Iran - President Donald Trump left the G-7 summit in Canada prematurely, which caused excitement among the other participating heads of state and government. The departure took place on Monday evening (local time) after Trump called on his platform Truth Social to immediately evacuate the Iranian capital Tehran. Reasons for this call were not specified, however, according to the spokeswoman of the White House, the "events in the Middle East" are decisive for his return to Washington, such as vienna.at. reports .

The departure happened during a time considerable tensions in the Middle East that overshadowed the summit. The G-7 decisions had previously named Iran as the "main source of regional instability" and emphasized Israel's support for his right to self-defense. In addition, an urgent appeal on both sides was expressed for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that Iran should not develop or own nuclear weapons, which Trump also confirmed. Before his departure, Trump criticized France President Emmanuel Macron for his public statements and rejected speculation that his departure in connection with possible negotiations with Iran, adds Tagesschau .

background and geopolitical tensions

The situation in the Middle East is tense with military escalations between Israel and Iran, which also influenced the conversations at the G-7 summit. A planned exchange between Trump and the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj failed, while Selenskyj hoped for support for Ukraine, which is in the defense war against Russia. Iran reported that it would be willing to negotiate his nuclear program as long as the United States does not actively participate in military actions. Trump announced that he wanted to solve the conflicts about the Iranian nuclear program "once and for all", it was said in a report by Tagesschau .

The G-7 countries, including Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney and Chancellor Friedrich Merz, are concerned about developments in the Middle East and the potential effects on global oil supply. The military presence of the United States in the region is reinforced by stationing a second aircraft carrier association, which caused cautious reactions in the international community. China criticized Trump's call for evacuation and called him "oil into the fire". In addition, 20 Arab and Muslim countries have spoken out against the Israeli attacks and demanded a nuclear weapons -free Middle East.

The summit, which began on June 16, was an opportunity to discuss global economic and geopolitical issues, but was overshadowed by the ongoing military conflicts. The G-7 countries strive for a uniform position to exert both Iran and Russia to pressure. In the context of the energy markets, the possible effects of a conflict on oil producers are another important topic that was addressed at the summit. As a result, there was a strong need for de -escalation and diplomatic solutions, such as numerous participants, including Macron and Merz, emphasized.
