Trump said in a post today (June 17): "French President Macron, who is desperate for fame, mistakenly said that I left the G7 summit in Canada to go back to Washington to promote a 'ceasefire' between Israel and Iran. Wrong! He doesn't know why I am going to Washington now, but it definitely has nothing to do with a ceasefire. There are far more important things than a ceasefire. Whether intentional or unintentional, Macron always gets it wrong. Stay tuned!"

White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt stated that due to the situation happening in the Middle East, President Trump will leave early after dining with other world leaders.

In addition, there are differences between Trump and other participating leaders. The differences surfaced on the day the summit opened. Trump said he had no intention of signing the joint statement drafted by the G7, which called for de-escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran. He believed that he had already expressed his views on the conflict between Israel and Iran, so there was no reason to sign the statement.

At the same time, Trump left early to avoid pressure from allies. He failed to reach agreements with allies on multiple issues, such as imposing taxes on allies and his stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Iran conflict, and he refused to sign drafts prepared by allies on topics including AI, critical minerals, immigration, and others.
