Trump hastily leaves the G7 summit: Middle East crisis requires his return!

How Radio Leverkusen reports, Trump emphasized during the traditional family photo with other heads of state and government that it was crucial to return quickly.
The departure is primarily associated with the current conflict between Israel and Iran, which has escalated into a tense war. Loud Daily Mirror Trump suggested that Iran might be open to negotiations. This brings with it hope that the situation could eventually be defused. However, there are also major concerns about possible US military intervention in this conflict.
Relationships and return
