Abrupt change of plans comes after president on Truth Social warns residents of Tehran to evacuate immediately
Donald Trump will return early to Washington on Monday from the G7 summit because of events escalating in the Middle East, US officials said, as the conflict between Israel and Iran continued to intensify.
The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Trump would participate in the G7 family photo and would dine with leaders at the summit in Alberta, Canada, before travelling back a day ahead of schedule.
Trump’s abrupt change in plans comes after a series of developments in the Israel-Iran conflict and a Truth Social post by the president warning residents in Iran’s capital of Tehran to immediately evacuate.
The ominous warning from Trump followed an evacuation order issued earlier in the day by Israeli forces telling residents in large parts of Tehran to evacuate ahead of imminent bombing of “military infrastructure”.
