Trump stated that he had informed Canadian Prime Minister and summit host Mark Carney of his plans and believed fellow leaders would understand, calling the situation “big stuff.”
Although he signed the joint G7 statement calling for de-escalation and a potential ceasefire in the Middle East, Trump made additional remarks online that drew significant public reaction. In a post on Truth Social, he disputed French President Emmanuel Macron’s suggestion that his departure was related to ceasefire negotiations, saying instead there were other matters requiring his immediate attention.
“Publicity-seeking President Emmanuel Macron… 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. Wrong!” Trump wrote. “He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington… Stay Tuned!”
These remarks prompted a wave of discussion on social media, with some users expressing concern over the tone and content of the statements. The former president also made additional comments urging civilians in Tehran to evacuate, citing the recent conflict between Israel and Iran.
Although the U.S. is not directly involved in the current hostilities, Trump’s comments have added to the international spotlight on the situation. His statement that “Iran should have signed the deal I told them to sign” also drew renewed focus on nuclear negotiations and U.S. foreign policy.
The situation has prompted fresh discussions on diplomatic strategy, alliance coordination, and the role of leadership communication during high-stakes global events. While some praised Trump for taking decisive action, others urged a more measured approach during such sensitive developments.
As tensions continue to evolve in the Middle East, world leaders—including U.S. officials—are expected to continue engaging in behind-the-scenes efforts aimed at reducing the risk of further conflict.
