President Trump started the 2025 G7 summit by taking questions from reporters, who asked about deals with Iran and Canada.

President Donald Trump is attending the opening day of the Group of Seven summit Monday in Canada, where some of the staunchest and oldest U.S. allies are expected to discuss tariffs and the escalating military conflict between Israel and Iran — all while attempting to avoid direct confrontations with the mercurial U.

It’s a tableau no world leader — except perhaps President Donald Trump — wants to repeat. Convening in the Canadian Rockies for this week’s Group of 7 summit, presidents and prime ministers are hoping to avoid the acrimony that pervaded the last time this country played host to the world’s most exclusive club.

The U.S. president faces pushback over the risk of U.S. involvement in the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran.

The president had opposed Israeli action against Iran but came to believe that Israel had reason to act and that the U.S. would have to lend some support.

"The full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before," Trump warned.

President Donald Trump vetoed a plan presented to the U.S. in recent days to kill Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter.

Discussing the conflict between Israel and Iran, the former vice president said Trump "ought to be looking elsewhere than Vladimir Putin for advice."
