Modi & Trump (File)
International News: The G7 Summit 2025 in Kananaskis, Canada, took a dramatic turn yesterday when U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly left the conference. His sudden exit, which included canceling a scheduled bilateral meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has sent ripples through diplomatic circles. The move came as leaders were discussing global economic strategies, leaving many stunned by the abrupt shift in focus.
Trump’s departure was attributed to escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. Sources close to the U.S. delegation revealed that he received urgent updates about Iranian missile strikes, prompting an immediate return to Washington to address the crisis. The decision to skip the Modi meeting, originally planned to strengthen U.S.-India trade ties, reflects the priority given to regional security over bilateral engagements. White House officials confirmed the move, citing national security concerns.
The cancellation has raised eyebrows about the future of India-U.S. collaboration. Modi, who arrived with proposals for technology partnerships, expressed disappointment but understanding, emphasizing global stability. Analysts suggest this could delay key discussions, though both nations plan a virtual follow-up. The absence of a face-to-face meeting may temper the momentum built during previous summits, with Indian diplomats now recalibrating their strategy.
Other G7 leaders, including Canada’s Justin Trudeau, expressed concern over Trump’s exit, noting it disrupted consensus on climate and trade issues. Social media buzzes with speculation, with some linking the move to Trump’s unpredictable leadership style. The summit continued without him, focusing on the Iran-Israel situation, but the incident has overshadowed other agendas.The focus shifts to how Trump’s actions will shape G7 unity and U.S. foreign policy.
