Trump Hits Out At Emmanuel Macron's Explanation For Him Leaving G7 Summit Early

US President Donald Trump gestures as he attends a family photo session during the G7 Summit, in Kananaskis, Alberta, Monday, June 16, 2025.Donald Trump has hit out at Emmanuel Macron after the French president tried to explain why he had left the G7 summit early.The US president stunned his fellow leaders by flying back to Washington before the gathering had ended.French president Emmanuel Macron claimed his US counterpart departed so he could work on a truce between Iran and Israel, who have just exchanged fire for the fifth day in a row.But in an angry post on Truth Social, the US president said his French counterpart was “wrong” to say he had returned to Washington for ceasefire talks.In a scathing takedown, he said: “Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to DC to work on a “cease fire” between Israel and Iran. 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. Much bigger than that.“Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong.”But the US president did not say exactly why he was leaving, only telling his followers to “Stay Tuned!”Macron had been quite positive about Trump’s early exit, saying there was progress with Israel and Iran.He said: “There is indeed an offer to meet and exchange. An offer was made especially to get a ceasefire and to then kick-start broader discussions.”Trump also appeared to be forgetting that his own press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said he was leaving because of “what’s going on in the Middle East”.President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State.— Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) June 16, 2025The rest of the G7 leaders had been hoping to secure a joint sanctions package against Russia over its war in Ukraine, as Vladimir Putin continues to drag his heels over peace talks.Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy even flew out to Canada just for a meeting with Trump.However, without the US president, that’s unlikely to go ahead.Related...Trump Escalates His Feud With Tucker Carlson Over Israel And IranRetired US Major General Rains On Trump's Military Parade Following 'No Kings' Protest SpeechTrump Says Kicking Russia Out Of G7 Was A 'Very Big Mistake'
