United States (US) President Donald Trump has departed the G7 in Canada to return to Washington amid rising tensions in the Middle East.

 The White House announced this development after Trump posted on social media that Iran should have signed a deal he had put on the table in their now collapsed nuclear negotiations.

He also posted that everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran, a cities of more than 10 million people.

Trump also posted that America First meant that Iran could not have a nuclear weapon, as it appeared a major escalation could be coming after US Secretary of Defence, Pete Hegseth, directed the deployment of additional country’s capabilities to the Middle East.

Hegseth posted on X that these deployments were intended to enhance their defensive posture in the region amid reports that Israel had urged America to join their war against Iran.

Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt wrote on X that Trump would be leaving right after the G7 heads of state dinner to return to the White House.

America has thus far stated that it was not party to the conflict.

Several US media reports that Trump asked his National Security Council to be assembled in the situation room on his return to Washington.

He says, “Well, I have to be back very important. I want to just thank our great hosts, you did a fantastic job. Thank you and Canada, but you probably see what I see and I have to be back as soon as I can. I’m gonna have dinner with these wonderful leaders and then I get on a plane. I need to get back early for obvious reasons.”
