A US official says US President Donald Trump will not sign a draft statement from Group of Seven leaders calling for de-escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict.
The draft statement, seen by Reuters, also commits to safeguarding market stability, including energy markets, says Iran must never have a nuclear weapon, and that Israel has the right to defend itself.
Canadian and European diplomats say G7 attendees are continuing discussions on the conflict at the summit in Canada, which ends tomorrow.
