President Trump took questions from reporters during the G7 summit in Canada. Mr. Trump commented on reports of Iran looking to de-escalate the conflict with Israel, and talked about Russia exiting the G8.

A White House official said President Trump had decided not to sign onto a statement drafted for Group of 7 allies that urges restraint from both Israel and Iran, which have been trading attacks for days.

This is the second time President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have spoken on the phone this month.
