Live Updates: G7 Canada: PM Modi Arrives In Canada To Attend G-7 Summit, Trump Cuts Short G7 Visit Amid Rising Israel-Iran Conflict

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in Calgary, Canada to attend the G7 Outreach Summit, as regional tensions between Israel and Iran continue to escalate. His arrival in Canada follows the completion of his visit to Cyprus, where he held in-depth talks with Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides.

The Prime Minister is currently undertaking a four-day, three-nation tour that includes Cyprus, Canada, and Croatia. Describing the Cyprus leg of the trip as “memorable,” the Ministry of External Affairs shared on X that PM Modi expressed sincere appreciation to President Christodoulides and the Cypriot people for their “exceptional warmth and hospitality.”

Canada: PM Narendra Modi lands in Calgary. He will attend the 51st G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta.

Donald Trump is cutting short his stay at the G7 summit in Alberta and will depart Monday night, the White House announced.

The president arrived in Kananaskis on Sunday and was scheduled to stay through Tuesday, but Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said he will leave after dinner with world leaders due to the escalating conflict in the Middle East.

Earlier Monday, Trump expressed frustration over being away as Iran and Israel exchanged attacks. “Iran wants to make a deal. And as soon as I leave here, we’re going to be doing something,” he said, adding that he stayed only because of existing commitments to other countries.

Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba met with U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit Monday, urging Washington to lift the auto tariffs that risk harming Japan’s economy, according to the Japanese government.

Ishiba specifically called for the removal of the 25 percent tariff on Japanese cars, as well as the 24 percent reciprocal tariff, which is currently suspended until July 9.

Canada and the United States have not yet reached a deal on trade and tariffs but are stepping up negotiations, with another meeting planned later this week.

Canada, hit by a fresh wave of U.S. import tariffs since Donald Trump returned to the presidency, is pushing for their removal, according to Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman.

“Our goal is to get the tariffs off, to get to a place of stability — and then talk to the President about any kind of transformation that can take place between the two countries,” Hillman said Monday.

She added, “We have a President who strongly believes in his tariff policy to achieve certain goals. We, however, are equally convinced that applying this policy to Canada undermines those very goals — and we’re working to help him and his team understand our point of view.”

Khalistan organization in Canada, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), held a rally in Calgary, with demonstrators waving yellow flags in support of Khalistan.

According to SFJ organizer Kuljeet Singh, the group is calling on G7 leaders to hold Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi “accountable for the deaths of Sikh activists across the globe.”

Singh said the protest would span two days. 

Protesters reportedly arrived in Calgary from Europe, the United States, and India’s Punjab state. Singh noted that the timing of the demonstration, during the G7 summit , provides Sikh activists with a rare opportunity to amplify their message on a global platform.

On the eve of the G7 summit, four European leaders gathered for an impromptu meeting over glasses of Canadian wine—without U.S. President Donald Trump, who had yet to arrive in Kananaskis.

The gathering began when U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer ran into German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at a resort bar. French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni soon joined, turning the encounter into a one-hour discussion that focused heavily on the escalating Israel-Iran conflict—one of the summit’s top agenda items.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney opened the G7 summit by declaring it “one of those turning points in history,” warning that the world is now “more divided and dangerous” than during past crises like the fall of the Berlin Wall or 9/11.

Addressing leaders from the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Japan, and Italy, Carney emphasized the need for unity, saying “the world looks to this table for leadership.” He acknowledged there would be tough, honest talks, but stressed that shared consensus could drive real impact.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney offered high praise for U.S. President Donald Trump during their meeting at the G7 summit, calling the gathering “nothing without U.S. leadership — and your personal leadership.” He also extended birthday wishes to Trump, who turned 79 over the weekend.

Following their hour-long bilateral, Carney told reporters the meeting was “fantastic,” signaling his intent to maintain unity and keep Trump engaged within the G7 fold.

During his meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Trump told reporters that Iranian officials have signaled interest in talks to de-escalate the conflict with Israel.

“They’d like to talk, but they should have done that before,” Trump said, referencing stalled nuclear negotiations. “I had 60 days, they had 60 days. On the 61st day, I said, we don’t have a deal.”

“They need to make a deal — it’s painful for both sides,” he added. “But Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk, and talk immediately, before it’s too late.”

One of the most sensitive topics on the summit’s agenda is the conflict in Ukraine. Despite NATO’s support for Ukraine, Trump’s stance on Russia has been a major source of concern among European leaders. Trump had suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin could play a role in mediating peace talks, an idea that was subsequently rejected by French President Emmanuel Macron. Macron emphasised that Russia, which was excluded from the G7 in 2014 after its annexation of Crimea, could not be a neutral mediator, Reuters reported. “Moscow cannot be a negotiator because it has started an illegal war against Ukraine,” Macron told reporters. READ MORE

Prime Minister Narendra Modi begins a five-day visit to Cyprus, Canada, and Croatia today—his first overseas tour since Operation Sindoor.

The trip marks key diplomatic milestones: it is the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Cyprus in over 20 years, and the first-ever to Croatia.

Calling the tour a chance to “thank partner countries for their unwavering support” in India’s fight against cross-border terrorism, Modi said it would also help strengthen global efforts to counter terrorism. His first stop is Cyprus, where he will hold bilateral talks with President Nikos Christodoulides and meet business leaders in Limassol to bolster ties with the Mediterranean and the EU.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will embark on a three-nation tour from June 15 to 19, marking his first overseas visit since Operation Sindoor. He will begin with a visit to Cyprus (June 15–16) — the first by an Indian PM in over two decades — before heading to Canada for the G7 Summit in Kananaskis (June 16–17). He will conclude the trip with a historic stop in Croatia on June 18, the first-ever by an Indian prime minister, the MEA announced Saturday.
