Trump says he did not leave G7 summit to work on Israel-Iran ceasefire
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump denies that the reason he left the G7 summit of economic powers was to work on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, blaming French President Emmanuel Macron for the misconception.
“Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire,” Trump writes in a post on his Truth Social platform.
The president does not say what he is in fact working on, but teases that it’s “much bigger than that.”
“Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong,” Trump writes. “Stay Tuned.”
