President Trump abruptly left the G-7 summit amid escalating Middle East tensions, hinting at potential US involvement in an Israeli strike against Iran’s nuclear program. This decision has sparked controversy, with some MAGA figures like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene criticizing Trump for abandoning his “America First” policy and risking a wider conflict.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Canada for the G7 Summit, marking his first visit in a decade. Discussions will center on energy security and technology. Invited by Canadian PM Mark Carney, this visit aims to improve strained relations following previous diplomatic tensions. Ties between the two countries had worsened after the killing of pro-Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June 2023.
