After Telling Tehran to Evacuate, Trump to Leave G7

President Trump is leaving the Group of Seven summit in western Canada early, a decision the White House attributed to the strikes Israel and Iran are launching on each other. "Much was accomplished, but because of what's going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State," press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted on social media, per the AP. The meeting is to run through Tuesday. Before leaving Alberta, Trump urged the residents of Tehran to leave.

• The warning: "Iran should have signed the 'deal' I told them to sign," Trump wrote on social media, per the Washington Post. "What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" The post followed a warning from the Israeli military to the city's residents that bombing of "military infrastructure" was imminent, per the Guardian.
• Early out: Trump will miss meetings scheduled for Tuesday on the war for Ukraine and global trade, per the AP. He also was scheduled to meet with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump's original schedule had him arriving back in the US early Wednesday morning.

• The reasoning: It wasn't immediately clear what led Trump to leave the summit early, per Axios. Israel first struck Iran on Thursday night, and the US has stayed out of it. Iranian media reported explosions and heavy air defense fire in Tehran not long after Trump's post about Tehran. And US officials said Monday that the Pentagon is expanding its deployment in the Middle East and Europe, adding refueling planes and another aircraft carrier. More than two dozen tanker planes were sent to Europe in the past two days, per the Washington Post.
• Unsigned: Trump had decided not to sign a G7 statement calling for Israel and Iran to deescalate anyway, per the New York Times. The statement was still being prepared Monday.
