President Trump will cut short his trip to Canada for a meeting with world leaders and fly back to Washington late Monday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, citing "what's going on in the Middle East."

Mr. Trump arrived in Canada on Sunday for the annual G7 summit, and met with the leaders of Canada and the United Kingdom earlier Monday. But Leavitt said on X Monday night that the president would leave early, seeming to refer to the Israel-Iran conflict.

"Much was accomplished, but because of what's going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State," Leavitt wrote.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
