US President Donald Trump leaves G7 early | BBC News

Published

on



“I have to be back early for obvious reasons,” US President Donald Trump told reporters as he left the G7 summit in Canada a day early.

His exit came as Israel and Iran attacked each other for a fifth consecutive day.

Reports circulated that Trump had instructed the White House National Security Council to meet upon his return.

The White House was at pains to emphasise that the president had “a great day” at the summit, saying much was accomplished, including a trade deal between the US and UK.

It means the US president will miss in-person meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum that were scheduled for Tuesday, the final day of the summit.

Is Trump’s grip on Republicans bad for the party? | Global News Podcast

Published

on



Donald Trump is exerting his grip on the Republican party ahead of this year’s midterm elections, analysts say. This week, with the help of an endorsement from the president, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton easily defeated Senator John Cornyn in a primary vote, to decide who will represent the GOP in November.

President Trump has campaigned against at least three Republican incumbents, including Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie and Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy – both of whom also lost their primaries.

Our Washington correspondent Daniel Bush tells us that President Trump uses his endorsements to reward loyalty and punish dissent. But how could that strategy affect the party’s chances against the Democrats in the 2026 midterms – and beyond?
