Trump discusses Middle East conflict with advisors
President Donald Trump met with his national security team in Washington to talk about the growing conflict between Israel and Iran. The meeting, which lasted over an hour, focused on whether the U.S. should get involved in Israel’s ongoing attacks on Iran. This comes after Trump returned early from the G-7 summit in Canada, where he skipped a planned meeting with Australia’s Prime Minister and downplayed talk of a ceasefire.

He criticized France’s President Emmanuel Macron for suggesting he was working on a truce. Trump has called for Iran to agree to a deal limiting its nuclear program and even urged people in Tehran, Iran’s capital, to evacuate. He believes a deal could happen, but thinks Iran’s leaders are unwise for not negotiating. The conflict has raised oil prices and worried global markets, as Iran’s role in the oil supply is significant.

Some reports suggest Trump supports Israel’s goal of targeting Iran’s nuclear sites but isn’t pushing for a change in Iran’s government. The meeting has sparked debate about U.S. involvement in the Middle East. While some allies at the G-7 urged de-escalation, Trump’s focus seems to be on strong action rather than peace talks. His decisions could affect global trade, oil prices, and America’s role in the region, with many watching closely for what comes next.
