U.S. President Donald Trump is leaving the Kananaskis G7 summit early because of the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump “had a great day at the summit” but will leave Alberta on Monday night.
In his own social media post on Monday afternoon, Trump called for the immediate evacuation of the Iranian capital of Tehran.
Earlier in the day, Trump warned that Tehran needed to curb its nuclear program before it was “too late.”
