Trump leaves G7 summit abruptly: Iran and Israel focus on the world!

The G7 summit, which began on June 16, 2025 in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, is overshadowed by the conflicts between Israel and Iran. US President Donald Trump unexpectedly announced his early return to Washington due to "events in the Middle East". Despite his departure, Trump emphasized that this decision does not represent an affront against the G7. The G7 heads and government heads continued and agreed on a joint explanation in which Iran is called "main source of regional instability and terror". In addition, Israel's right to self -defense is underlined and confirms that Iran should never be owned by a nuclear weapon. However, the explanation does not express a direct criticism of Israel, but focuses on the protection of the civilian population and the de -escalation of the situation in the Middle East.

The G7 plans to observe the effects of the conflict on international energy markets and coordinate measures. Trump asked the residents of Tehran to evacuate, while US forces remain in "defense attitude" in the Middle East. Israel carries out massive attacks on Iran, whereupon Iran reacted to Israel with drone and rocket attacks. Despite Trump's departure, which surprised many summit participants, especially after his cooperative appearance, leading politicians such as Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney and the German Federal Government support.

conflicts and sanctions

Within the summit, differences between the USA and other G7 countries also emerged with regard to possible new sanctions against Russia. While the United States is skeptical about the sanctions desired by European countries under Trump, many western countries have already imposed extensive sanctions against Russia. According to the IWD, most of these sanctions have affected individuals, with Russia being internationally isolated with over 12,000 sanctions. This results in permanent economic losses, recognizable by declines in foreign trade.

Some companies have withdrawn from Russia, including well -known names such as Aldi, BASF, Evonik and Henkel. From the perspective of the researchers of the Yale School of Management and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Russia's exports have decreased by 36 percent and imports by more than 30 percent. Similar declines can also be observed in Iran, where exports of 41 percent and imports have dropped by more than 80 percent. The long -term loss of prosperity is 1.7 percent for Iran and 1.5 percent for Russia.

The role of the G7 in international context

It is expected that the summit will continue to respond to important topics, including the escalation in the Ukraine conflict. The G7 countries would have liked to show uniqueness and ability to act, which, however, is made more difficult by Trump's departure and the different positions within the committee. Chancellor Friedrich Merz has repeatedly emphasized that Iran must not develop or own nuclear weapons. He and other European leaders such as France President Emmanuel Macron advocate de -escalation and diplomacy. These are essential to avoid a larger conflict and to secure the stability in the region.

Overall, the G7 meeting remains challenging because it is also about international relationships, security issues and economic interests, especially in relation to oil producers such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The G7 will continue to work to find a common attitude to the current global crises.
