US President Donald Trump has contradicted French President Emmanuel Macron, clarifying that his early departure from the G7 summit in Canada had nothing to do with a possible ceasefire between Israel and Iran.

The French-Israeli relationship has always been turbulent, but the prospect that President Emmanuel Macron may recognize a Palestinian state has brought tension to a new level.

President Donald Trump unexpectedly departed the G7 Summit on Monday without providing a definitive explanation as to why. Many suspected it had to do with addressing the conflict in the Middle East between Iran and Israel.

US President Donald Trump has sharply responded to remarks made by French leader Emmanuel Macron regarding his trip from Canada to Washington, according to Trump's post on the social media platform Truth Social.

The US president insisted his departure had "nothing to do" with tensions over a potential Israel-Iran ceasefire.

Donald Trump has refuted reports that he was leaving the G7 summit in Canada early to try and broker a peace deal between Israel and Iran.

PARIS (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday that information France had on the Iranian nuclear programme was most concerning, adding that the programme was close to a critical stage.
