In a dramatic turn of events, President Trump took aim at French President Emmanuel Macron early Tuesday, rebuffing Macron’s assertion that Trump’s sudden departure from the G7 Summit was tied to negotiations for a ceasefire.
As reported by , Trump’s hasty exit from the G7 Summit in Canada on Monday evening followed a striking announcement on Truth Social, urging, “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”

Upon his return to Washington, DC, early Tuesday morning, Trump reassured reporters, stating, “I just want people to be safe,” downplaying the urgency behind his evacuation call regarding Tehran.
Macron, in remarks to the press, reportedly claimed, “There is indeed an offer to meet and exchange. An offer was made especially to get a ceasefire and to then kick-start broader discussions.”
To this, Trump responded with a succinct rebuttal: “Wrong!” He elaborated, stating, “Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay tuned!”
Publicity-seeking President Emmanuel Macron of France mistakenly suggested that I left the G7 Summit to work on a “ceasefire” between Israel and Iran. Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a ceasefire. Much bigger than that. Whether purposely or not, Emmanuel always gets it wrong. Stay tuned!
Trump arrived at the White House around 6 am ET, where he addressed reporters during a 12-minute flight from Calgary to Joint Base Andrews, emphasizing his desire for “a real end, not a ceasefire.”
He hinted at the possibility of dispatching Vice President JD Vance and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to engage with Iranian leaders, although he noted that “it depends on what happens when I get back.”
With mounting speculation regarding potential troop deployments or continued military support for Israel in their ongoing conflict, Trump’s assertions have drawn scrutiny.
This is a developing story.
