ISLAMABAD: The Group of Seven (G7) summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, was thrown into disarray after U.S. President Donald Trump left a day early, abandoning key meetings on Ukraine and trade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s unexpected departure came as the world reels from simultaneous crises involving Iran, Israel, Russia, and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Despite the drama, G7 leaders are attempting to present a united front, asserting the group\u2019s relevance in shaping global affairs.<\/p>\n

Trump declined to participate in fresh sanctions against Russia, stating he would wait for Europe to act first.<\/p>\n

Before leaving, he joined other leaders in a brief statement affirming that Iran must never possess nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

However, he diverged sharply on policy matters, particularly regarding Ukraine and economic sanctions.<\/p>\n

Trump told media that Tehran should be \u201cevacuated immediately,\u201d fueling further speculation on U.S. intentions.<\/p>\n

Tensions Rise Over Iran and Russia<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As the summit opened, Israel had launched aerial strikes on Iran, which retaliated with missile and drone attacks.<\/p>\n

Trump warned Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions \u201cbefore it\u2019s too late\u201d and suggested Iranian leaders had already missed their chance to strike a deal.<\/p>\n

He expressed that Iran \u201cwould like to talk\u201d but hinted at possible consequences if they failed to act quickly.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, German and British officials pushed for a final communique to reaffirm that Iran must not gain access to nuclear-capable material.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO Chief Mark Rutte were scheduled to join remaining leaders for further talks on the war.<\/p>\n

G7 Tries to Regain Focus Without U.S. President<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Prime Minister Mark Carney, UK\u2019s Keir Starmer, and other G7 leaders pressed forward with plans to impose new tariffs on Russia.<\/p>\n

Trump, however, refused to participate in the sanctions and emphasized economic burdens on the U.S.<\/p>\n

He cited rising costs and criticized the 2014 expulsion of Russia from the G7 as a factor behind the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s focus remained on trade grievances, announcing steep tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos, and general imports.<\/p>\n

Despite friction, he signed a trade framework with the UK, calling it \u201cprotection through friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n

The summit’s remaining leaders are now trying to salvage what they can without their most controversial member present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
