President Donald Trump will return to the White House on Saturday and meet with his national security team at 6 p.m., according to CNN.
US President Donald Trump is set to return to the White House on Saturday and will meet with his national security team at 6 p.m. according to CNN [1]. This comes as the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran continues to dominate global headlines and financial markets.
Trump's return follows a brief trip to Canada for the Group of Seven (G7) summit, where he cut short his stay to deal with "many important matters" [2]. The White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed that Trump will return to Washington to attend to these pressing issues.
The conflict between Israel and Iran has intensified in recent days, with both sides exchanging missile strikes and causing significant casualties. According to a Washington-based Iranian human rights group, the Israeli strikes have killed at least 639 people in Iran, including 263 civilians [4]. In response, Iran's Supreme Leader has warned Washington against any direct military involvement, stating that US entry into the war would result in "irreparable damage to them" [4].
Despite the ongoing military escalation, diplomatic channels may reopen. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced plans to travel to Geneva for emergency talks with diplomats from the UK, France, Germany, and the EU [4]. This suggests a possible diplomatic window to de-escalate the crisis may be emerging.
Trump has hinted at his goal of achieving a "much bigger" deal than just a ceasefire. However, he has so far resisted calls to intervene militarily, stating that the US is not ruling out any options [4]. Trump's national security team will be crucial in making a decision on US involvement in the conflict, with the President indicating that he will make a decision within the next two weeks [3].
The ongoing conflict and the uncertainty surrounding US involvement have had a significant impact on financial markets. Investors are closely monitoring the situation, with geopolitical risks often driving market volatility. The White House's decision-making process and any potential US military action will continue to influence market sentiment.
