President Trump Explains Why He Left G7 Early as Iran-Israel Conflict Escalates

Former President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he plans to be in the White House Situation Room as tensions escalate between Israel and Iran.

When asked why he left the G7 summit in Canada ahead of schedule, Trump explained, “I don’t believe in telephones,” adding that “being on the scene is much better.”

“We completed everything I needed to do at the G7. It was a good summit,” he said.
