RECAP | Trump departs G7 summit early, citing Middle East, as U.S. and Canada aim for deal within 30 days

Now that their class picture has been taken, the G7 leaders are off to dinner, where Carney says they'll be attending to some more business.

Trump is leaving after that, saying there's "big stuff" to deal with regarding conflicts in the Middle East.

Today's focus was largely on trade, with countries like the U.K. and Canada trying to offset the U.S.'s punishing tariffs.

U.K. Prime Minster Keir Starmer signed a deal with Trump. Carney's team says it's accelerating talks with the Americans to finalize a trade and security deal within 30 days.

This evening, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum arrived in Alberta, where she was greeted by a crowd of supporters — with some of whom she took selfies.

It's unclear what will happen to the meetings she and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were supposed to have separately with Trump.

We'll be back tomorrow with all your updates on the second day of the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta.

The G7 family photo was just taken with the Rocky Mountains in the backdrop — and both Trump and Carney spoke up in response to some questions from reporters.

"I loved it, I tell ya. I loved it and I think we got a lot done," Trump said, mentioning the trade deal the U.S. signed with the U.K. today.

"We're working on others, but we had just a really great relationship with everybody," the U.S. president said. "I wish I could stay for tomorrow, but they understand. This is big stuff."

Trump paused, then added, "You have questions for anybody else?" which Carney laughed at.

The prime minister soon ushered the other leaders off the photo platform, saying, "We've got a bit more work to do, so we'll go do it over dinner."

"I'm very grateful for the president's presence,” he added, “and I fully understand why he must return."

Earlier today, during his bilateral meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump hinted that he might have to leave prematurely to deal with the Iran-Israel conflict.

"I think Iran basically is at the negotiating table. They want to make a deal," he said when asked a question about it. "And as soon as I leave here, we're going to be doing something. But I have to leave here. I have … this commitment. I have a lot of commitments."

A spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office said Canada was made aware of Trump's schedule change before it was publicly announced.

The U.S. president will be taking off from the G7 a day early, wrote White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on X just before 7:30 p.m. ET. He’ll be leaving before major meetings on international issues, such as the Ukraine war, are set to take place.

"President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer," Leavitt wrote.

"But because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with heads of state."

Carney’s one-on-one with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is underway. It’s his last bilateral meeting of the day.

We’re expecting the traditional “family photo” shortly, after which the leaders will gather for a “cultural event” with music from Canadian singer Charlotte Cardin before turning in for the night.

Now that Carney has publicly stated a firm timeline for reaching a new economic and security agreement with the U.S., where do things go from here?

Ever since Trump doubled steel and aluminium tariffs earlier this month, Carney has faced questions about when — or whether — Canada would retaliate in kind. Carney has demurred, preferring to continue private negotiations. That’s a different approach from March and April, when Canada struck back against Trump’s tariffs.

It’s possible this 30-day timeframe could give Carney an impetus to retaliate if the two can’t reach an agreement by then.

There’s also the CUSMA to think about. It’s up for renegotiation next year, and that looms larger the longer there is no Canada-U.S. deal in the nearer term.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is among the non-G7 leaders who will be in Kananaskis tomorrow for the second day of the summit.

The Canadian readout of this morning’s Carney-Trump meeting is out, and it has some new information: The two leaders will work toward a new deal within 30 days.

This is the first time either side has put a timeframe on the talks.

The readout added that the leaders also spoke about collaborating on priorities like critical minerals, gun and drug smuggling, illegal drugs and border security, as well as possible areas of co-operation on defence.

We haven’t yet seen a White House readout from the meeting.

Although the G7 summit itself is taking place in Kananaskis, the media centre for the summit is in Banff, an 80-kilometre drive away.

Journalists heading to the site must take shuttle buses and go through security sweeps to get there.

Many are staying in Banff. And the picturesque backgrounds you might see in broadcast coverage of the summit are no accident.

Pictured above are just some of the live camera positions for both Canadian and international media.

The media centre also has a café that’s open 24 hours a day, because international media here are filing their stories at all hours of the day and night.

Speaking on CBC's Power & Politics, Canada’s ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman gave some insight into Trump's motivations for imposing tariffs on Canada and other countries — and said both nations have more negotiation meetings planned this week.

The two sides have agreed to accelerate their talks toward an agreement on trade. The goal on the Canadian side has been "to get the tariffs off," Hillman told host David Cochrane.

Trump sees tariffs as an economic tool to achieve several things, Hillman said, including "for creating barriers into the U.S., to encourage domestic production … [to] leverage policy changes in other countries," as well as to raise money so the U.S. can cut taxes.

When it comes to Canada, though, Hillman said envoys are "working very, very hard to make the case that using those tariffs with us is not going to be as productive."

Hi, I’m Helen Pike, reporting for CBC News from Banff.

While leaders are meeting in nearby Kananaskis, Banff is the home base for journalists from around the world and the site of one designated demonstration zone.

That zone, tucked into a parking lot on the edge of town at the Fenlands Banff Recreation Centre, is currently drawing a small but growing group of demonstrators.

It’s located just across the street from where the Banff sign usually stands, a popular location for tourists to stop and take a photo. It’s been temporarily removed for the summit.

While the parking lot was mostly empty earlier today, as of 3 p.m., RCMP said it had drawn around 80 demonstrators. Demonstrators were on site for a variety of reasons, including to show support for Palestinian and Ukrainian people and for migrant workers.
