As we reported Monday evening, President Donald Trump cut his trip to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, short and returned to Washington, D.C., as tensions mount in the Middle East over the conflict between Iran and Israel.
But even though he was only there for 24 hours, Trump made the most of it. In addition to meeting with the other leaders, posing for photos with them, and dining with them, Trump and his negotiating team struck a trade deal with the U.K.

TRUMP: We have our trade agreement with the [U.K.], and it’s a fair deal for both. Going to produce a lot of jobs, a lot of income. And we have other — many, many other — ones coming. But you see the level of enthusiasm is very good. But the relationship that we have is fantastic. So, I just want to congratulate you.
STARMER: Donald, thank you very much. This now implements on car tariffs and aerospace, a really important agreement. And so, this is a very good day for both of our countries, a real sign of strength. So, thank you again, Donald. A really important day for both of us.
TRUMP: Great people.

In addition, while Trump was in Canada, he spoke with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who had this to say about their meeting:

During the G7 I had a bilateral meeting with the President of the United States, @realDonaldTrump. We discussed the main international dossiers, with particular attention to the situation in Iran and the Middle East. We also addressed the issue of economic relations between the EU and the US, reiterating the importance of strengthening transatlantic cooperation.
So, it was a productive trip, even if it was a brief one.
