I'm Gavin Day. Tuesday is the final day of the G7 summit in Alberta and it will be missing the group's most influential member. U.S. President Donald Trump left the summit early. His departure caught many at the summit in Kenanaskis off guard. Murray Brewster has more. Iran basically is at the negotiating table. They want to make a deal.

And as soon as I leave here, we're going to be doing something, but I have to leave here. U.S. President Donald Trump, an hour before his sudden departure was made public. And he couldn't have been any more cryptic. As G7 leaders posed for the family photo, Trump was just as evasive, telling reporters, you see what I see in the Middle East. His host, Prime Minister Mark Carney, was gracious. I'm very grateful for the President's presence. Are you going to have to be okay on the road?

And I fully understand why he must return. The problem. Trump was so central to the summit, whether it was dealing with the global trade war or talking about a push for a ceasefire in Ukraine, his absence creates a vacuum. Also, a number of world leaders were lining up waiting to talk with Trump. India's Narendra Modi landed just after Trump had announced he was leaving. Marie Brewster, CBC News, Banff, Alberta. Matthew Feeney Francis' president may have shed some light

on Trump's sudden departure. Emmanuel Macron said the US president offered a ceasefire to stop fighting between Iran and Israel. Macron says the offer was made to kickstart broader discussions, but Trump later posted to social media saying that Macron had no idea why he was heading back to Washington. Trump's early departure from Alberta means Canadians likely won't get many questions answered when it comes to tariffs. On Monday, the US president met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, but few details of that meeting have been made public.

Katie Simpson explains. Mr. President, welcome to Canada. There was tension from the get-go for the public part of the meeting between Prime Minister Mark Carney and the ever unpredictable US President Donald Trump. Reporters were invited into a small meeting room on the sidelines of the summit after the leaders met privately for about 30 minutes. I'm a tariff person. Despite Trump's commitment to tariffs, the Prime Minister's office says both leaders agreed to

pursue negotiations toward a deal within the coming 30 days. A statement that matches Trump's optimism. Mr. Prime Minister, do you think a deal is achievable within days, within weeks? Is there that kind of runway? Yeah. Carney and the Canadians clearly wanted to keep the public portion of this meeting brief. I'm going to exercise my role, if you will, as a G7 terrorist. Both countries have agreed to expedite trade and security talks with more conversations to be planned this week. Katie Simpson, CBC News, Keninascus, Alberta.

Anti-aircraft batteries being used in Kyiv overnight. Russia launching its latest barrage of Ukraine's capital. Ukrainian officials say at least 14 people are dead. Another 44 are wounded. Russia reportedly using a mix of missiles and drones once again. Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky is set to be in Alberta Tuesday as a guest at the G7 summit. Vance Belter, the man accused of shooting two lawmakers and their spouses in Minnesota, faces first-degree murder charges. The 57-year old was arrested after what officials call the largest manhunt in the state's history. Political assassinations are rare. They strike at the very core of our democracy. But the

details of Belter's crime are even worse. Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson says the suspect researched his victims and stalked them. He's accused of fatally shooting one representative and her husband and injuring a state senator and his wife. The Justice Department says Belter could face the death penalty. One of the two doctors charged in connection with the death of Hollywood actor Matthew Perry will plead guilty to charges. The Justice Department says Dr. Salvador Placencia will plead guilty to distributing ketamine. Perry was found dead at his Los Angeles home in 2023. An autopsy revealed he died from an overdose of ketamine. Perry was found dead at his Los Angeles home in 2023. An autopsy revealed he

died from an overdose of ketamine. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Gavin Day.
