Trump says early G7 exit has ‘nothing to do’ with an Israel-Iran ceasefire

U.S. President Donald Trump said his early departure from the G7 summit in Canada on Monday (June 16, 2025) had “nothing to do” with a possible ceasefire between Israel and Iran, adding that France’s leader had been “wrong” to suggest otherwise.

“Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a ‘cease fire’ between Israel and Iran,” Mr. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay Tuned!”
