The White House says the United States, US, President Donald Trump will cut short his Group of Seven (G7) meeting and return to Washington, citing the Middle East situation, according to BBC reports.

President Trump will likely skip planned meetings with the Ukrainian and Mexican presidents on Tuesday, June 17.

He is also not expected to sign the G7 statement on the Iran-Israel conflict, despite other leaders’ plan to call for de-escalation and protection of civilians.

This comes after Trump and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer have signed a tariff deal between the US and the UK at a meeting during the G7 summit

Earlier, the US president called it a mistake to expel Russian President Vladimir Putin from the group in 2014, then called G8.
