Six of the Group of Seven leaders discussed Russia’s war in Ukraine and the Israel-Iran conflict but failed to reach major agreements on those and many other top issues.

The summit concluded with a broadly worded statement in which leaders of the G7 unanimously agreed that Iran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon and called for de-escalation in the Middle East.

The G7 summit in Alberta, Canada will congregate for a third day today - with the notable exception of US President Donald Trump. The US president left the economic bloc's summit ahead of schedule last night, with the White House confirming he had to see to affairs at home as Israel's strikes on Iran continue.
