US President Donald Trump departed the G7 summit in Canada a day ahead of schedule on Monday, returning to the White House amid escalating missile exchanges between Israel and Iran.

Trump’s helicopter lifted off from the summit site in the Canadian Rockies, just hours after he issued a stark warning urging residents to evacuate Iran’s capital, Tehran.

The president`s early exit came as the regional conflict intensified, with Israel and Iran trading missile fire for the fifth consecutive day, raising concerns of a broader confrontation.

The G7 gathering, which included discussions on global security and economic issues, was overshadowed by the growing crisis in the Middle East.
