Trump Cites “Much Bigger” Threat Than Ceasefire as He Leaves G7 Early, Urges Evacuation of Tehran
F.M.I.E. Sources
KANANASKIS, ALBERTA — June 16, 2025 – U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly departed the G7 Leaders’ Summit on Tuesday, citing “much bigger” issues than brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, and warning Iranian civilians to “immediately evacuate Tehran.”
According to F.M.I.E. sources, Trump’s early return to Washington was prompted by intensifying conflict in the Middle East, which he described as a far greater priority than what French President Emmanuel Macron characterized as a proposed ceasefire initiative.
“He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that,” Trump stated on his social media platform, Truth Social.
The conflict has dramatically escalated tensions in the region, prompting a unified response from G7 leaders who issued a strong statement in support of Israel, condemning Iran as the “principal source of regional instability and terror.” The G7 also reiterated that Iran “must never possess a nuclear weapon.”
In a further development, Israel’s military announced the elimination of Ali Shadmani, a top Iranian military commander and its so-called “wartime” chief of staff.
F.M.I.E. sources confirm that the G7 communiqué called for a resolution to the Iranian crisis and broader de-escalation in the region, including a ceasefire in Gaza.
Meanwhile, Trump’s stance on Iran drew a sharp contrast with China’s approach. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reportedly offered to mediate peace efforts between Tehran and Tel Aviv, condemning Israel’s recent strikes while positioning China as a potential peacemaker in the region.
During the summit, G7 leaders — including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, and EU leaders Ursula von der Leyen and Antonio Costa — also grappled with Trump’s controversial tariff policies, which many fear could slow global economic growth.
Trump did reach a trade breakthrough with the United Kingdom, signing a final agreement with Prime Minister Keir Starmer to cement last month’s bilateral deal. Japan, however, was unable to finalize a similar agreement, though negotiations will continue.
On the subject of Russia, Trump reiterated his belief that expelling Russia from the former G8 in 2014 was a strategic error. Speaking alongside Prime Minister Carney, Trump said, “This was a big mistake,” adding that had Russia remained within the group, “there would’ve been no Ukraine invasion in 2022.”
As global leaders work to contain the geopolitical fallout, Trump’s remarks and actions at the G7 summit underscore the shifting dynamics in U.S. foreign policy under his administration.
