US President Donald Trump has cut short his visit to Canada, where he was to attend G7 Summit meetings, to return to Washington, DC, a day earlier amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel.

According to ANI, The White House announced that he was returning early to deal with “what’s going on in the Middle East.”

As part of its push to destroy Iran’s nuclear programme, Israel is ramping up its attacks on Teheran.

Trump said he has to be back as soon as he can and announced that the US had signed a trade deal with the UK.

In response to shouted questions about why he’s leaving early, Trump said, “I have to be back.” He stated, “You probably see what I see and I have to be back as soon as I can.”

Trump said he thought the group had “got a lot done.” “I wish I could stay for tomorrow, but they understand,” he said of other leaders.

When asked whether he has spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently, Trump responded, “I’ve spoken to everybody.”

He urged Iran to sign a deal and stressed that no nuclear weapon should be in Iran. He said, “I gave Iran 60 days and they said no, and the 61st you saw what happened.”

He said, “I think a deal will be signed or something will happen but a deal will be signed.” He stated that Iran wants to make a deal.

When asked whether he wants regime change in Iran, Trump responded, “I want to see no nuclear weapon in Iran.”
