Trump’s short G7 – a trade deal, family photo and the Middle East

US President Donald Trump has cut short his trip to attend the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada, citing the Middle East conflict.

The summit, being hosted by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, includes leaders from France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, United States, Japan, and the European Union.

Trump is not expected to sign the G7 statement on the Iran-Israel conflict, despite other leaders’ plan to call for de-escalation and protection of civilians.
