Donald Trump left the G7 summit in Canada a day early, claiming he had to return to the U.S. for something more important, though he didnt clearly explain what that was. This sudden departure caused confusion and criticism around the world, especially since the G7 is a major event where leaders from powerful nations come together to address global issues, including economic challenges and international conflicts.The White House simply said Trump had to leave after the official dinner with other leaders because of whats going on in the Middle East. Trump himself told reporters he had informed Canadas Prime Minister Mark Carney ahead of time and that everyone at the summit would understand because, in his words, this is big stuff.His early exit meant he skipped signing a joint G7 statement that called for reducing violence in the Middle East, including a possible ceasefire in Gaza. While Trump eventually approved the statement from afar, he made headlines again for telling people in Tehran to evacuate via a social media post, even though the U.S. had not taken part in Israels recent airstrikes on Iran.Things got even more controversial when Trump lashed out at French President Emmanuel Macron. Macron had suggested Trump left early to work on a peace agreement between Israel and Iran. Trump denied that, writing online that Macron was wrong and that the real reason he left was much bigger. He didnt say what that bigger reason was but mocked Macron in the process, calling him publicity seeking and claiming the French president always gets things wrong.This rant drew harsh backlash, with many accusing Trump of being petty and insulting toward allies. Some people even called his comments psychopathic and pathetic. One critic said Macron was actually being generous by suggesting Trump left to try to broker peace which made Trump seem more presidential than he likely intended.Others joked that Trump probably just left to play golf, questioning what could be more important than negotiating a ceasefire during a major global crisis.Before leaving Canada, Trump had hinted that Iran wanted to make a deal and said he had to leave the summit to work on it. But later posts on social media showed that no such deal had happened. Instead, Trump expressed disappointment, saying Iran should have accepted what he offered and repeated that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon. He ended his statement with another call for people to evacuate Tehran, raising tensions even further.
His departure, lack of clear reasoning, and aggressive online remarks have led to widespread criticism both at home and internationally. Many are still wondering what exactly was so important that it justified leaving one of the most significant diplomatic meetings of the year.
