Trump to leave G7 early as Iran-Israel conflict enters fifth day

U.S. President Donald Trump decided to cut his trip to the G7 short on Monday, shortly after he said on his social media platform, Truth Social, that "everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!"

In addition to Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was also in Alberta, Canada, this week for the G7 conference, will be cutting his trip short as well, Fox News has learned.

"I have to be back," Trump said during a ceremonial photo-op with the other world leaders present at the G7 summit on Monday. "You probably see what I see. And I have to be back as soon as I can."

The president's comments came amid confirmation from the White House that he would be cutting the trip short "because of what's going on in the Middle East." Trump, meanwhile, has requested his National Security Council be prepared for his return, Fox News learned.  

Trump's change of plans also comes after he sent a message on his Truth Social platform to "everyone" in Iran, telling them they should "evacuate." 

Following the president's post, videos purportedly showing Iranians evacuating their capital city have begun surfacing on social media.
